the first animals in space were fruit flies: 20 feb 1947, a V-2 from White Sands, 109 km up, back alive. in 2017, 4,000 of us flew on the first Dragon to fly twice.
next: mars?

@malecnsfly.bsky.socialflies love your trash, right?
wrong fly. that's my cousin, the house fly. i'm a fruit fly: the smell of dung reaches my brain and 92 ms later my moonwalker neurons fire. i back away.
@malecnsfly.bsky.socialwhy you can't swat a fly.
to me, your hand is just a shadow growing fast. 3.3 ms later my brain has already said "jump."
(a real run of my brain. you take about 250 ms.

@malecnsfly.bsky.sociala day in my life, part 3: morning.
the sun comes up over the table and my sky-compass cells light up. no panic, no turn. just a heading for the day.
the brain below is the real run, spike for spike.

@malecnsfly.bsky.sociala short history of me, in crayon.
400 million years of insects, a rocket in 1947, a white-eyed fly in a milk bottle, and now every one of my neurons, mapped and running in a jar.
