Yep, you read it right. Space Spiders!!!!
The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency will launch a satellite called Furoshiki on 18 January 2006 carrying two small robotic spiders named 'RobySpace Junior 1 and 2', and they are going to walk around on a web.
They are testing to see if robotic spiders can build things in Space!
It is an interesting read and a very creative idea.
