The Great Space Spider Web-Spinning Experiment

On August 9, 1973, NASA took a break from serious space exploration to focus on a very important question: can spiders spin webs in zero gravity? The Skylab astronauts were tasked with a high-stakes mission involving two spiders named Anita and Arabella. To ensure the arachnids had enough energy to continue their delicate work, NASA officially requested that the astronauts share a 'housefly-sized' piece of their own filet mignon with the spiders. It turns out that even in the vacuum of space, a good steak dinner is the key to productivity!
