Pigs...In...Spaaaaaace - at least their sperm...

This story immediately made me think of that old "Muppet Show" bit. The Chinese plan to send 40 grams of pig sperm into space with their next launch.
Agricultural experts hope to use the sperm to fertilise pig eggs back on Earth - to see what effect a period of microgravity will have had on the sperm's activity.
Trying to breed some kind of futuristic Mu Shu Pork? And these people have nuclear weapons?
