Surviving sperm will be returned to Earth and used to understand better the processes involved in pig reproduction.

I don't understand why sperm has to be transported into outer space so that we can better understand pig reproduction here on Earth. Someone 'splain it to me?

I've been laughing to myself about "Pigs....in Space!" all morning. I wish The Muppets would come back on tv.
