(Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.)

Three British artists recently attempted to create art in zero gravity, including one man who tried to get a cat to chase a mouse as a performance piece.

While taking parabola-shaped flights into the upper atmosphere, artist Lyn Hagan filmed the cat and mouse. Both Hagan and the feline became sick, hampering attempts to incite a predator-prey scenario.

Hagan, Nasser Azam and Luke Jerram got the opportunity as part of the "Life In Space" project Hagan conceived in 2004 and subsequently organized with the help of the Russian Space Agency in Moscow.

Incidentally, Jerram also became ill during his piece, eloquently adding to the overarching statement of "Life in Space," which seems to be: Artists make crappy astronauts.
