   I dont think so. They build the space station modules in a sterile environment before putting them in pay load bay of the shuttle. Once its in the space and attached to the main module, its pretty much away from the earth’s ecology.

   If they do have spiders up there, it would only be for science experiments on web making.

   a spider probably would have alot of trouble making a web in space.

   Spiders would have trouble making webs, but because of the weightless environment, they could grow to unlimited size.

   not sure what they would eat. don’t think spiders are a fan of freeze dried peaches

   They would die for lack of bugs. Spiders do occasionally hitchhike to South Pole station. They build webs, but eventually die of starvation, poor things.

   I t could be most likely they are spiders in a human diguise and they well make cobwebs.
   So to find out if you can tap into there radio communications. Do this take a small speaker run it out with two leads stick it in a coffee can that has a cobweb on the front of the can or use a large bottle when the suspcious spider astronuats speaks the cobweb well oscillate in harmony with his speach then you have caught a spider man. Do this find the necsary stuff and blow the f-ucking space lab up. We do not need spider human replicas.

    umm i doubt it.

    i mean the precautions that they take when building the ship is unbelievable. so the chance something got in there is very small.

    and there would be nothing for the spiders to eat..

    just highly unlikely
