Unless they have wings,then they are really just flying. Gravity is keeping them grounded just like it keeps you grounded.
In 2003 high school students launched 15 ants with the space shuttle Columbia. They wanted to see how zero gravity affected the ants behavior. It made them more active. [ maddiec123's advice column | Ask maddiec123 A Question ]
