Jellyfish in Space

Ok so, as part of NASA’s SLS-1 Mission in 1991, over 2,000 moon jellyfish were launched into space on the space shuttle Columbia. The purpose of the science experiment was to study how the lack of gravity in space effects jellyfish development. They wanted to know whether adult jellyfish would behave differently once back in the gravity of Earth. This was because humans and jellyfish both share a common orientation according to gravity. Anyway, in the early 90s there were close to 60,000 jellyfish orbiting Earth. I’m not sure what to do with this info, but here it is:
