Conceived and born in orbit then returned to Earth, these cockroaches outperform earthborn hatchmates in feats of strength and speed. Two questions: (1) does it work with endoskeletal organisms (Superman's origin would suggest otherwise - he needed to be born under Krypton's massive gravity in order to be strong on Earth), and (2) how much is this going to swell the advance bookings and increase the quarantine burden for Virgin Galactic?
