The military branch of the British BAe Systems announced a similar program in 2000. One step closer to cheap space travel or just more sci-fi jive?"

    It's simple. You take a cat, and a slice of bread with butter, and strap it on the cat's back. Then drop it.

    Cat's always fall on their feet.

    According to Murphy, the bread always falls on the buttered side. Since this object will be able to do neither, it simply won't fall (as falling would break at least one universal law).
