That is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
I, also, feel bad for them struggling, but think about what's happening! It's amazing, on the deepest Darwinian level. The butterflies are trying to fly, right, but the fucking gravity's gone! Billions of years of evolution have one absolute constant: the earth's gravity. (You can't even say oxygen; there are anarobic creatures in the sea depths etc.) And yet its ironic because, in space, everybody can fly! Amazing, amazing stuff. Then they just returned to Earth and opened the box, and the 'flies just, you know, went "Oh" and flew away.
Cripes, I hope not! That's how the Space Plague gets out!
Spaaaaace Plaaaague.
I have to say, as interesting as that is (and it is), that's a very depressing video. Why bother flying anyway when you're stuck in a tiny box full of floating crap?
