Please, do not panic. That's exactly what they want us to do...
The Russians recently launched the satellite with the geckos to conduct experiments into the art of lovemaking at zero gravity. But they have now lost communication with the geckos on board the Foton-M4 research vessel, although reports say that experiments on board are still on-going. Phew...
Seriously though, the geckos are being used in a weightless experiment with scientists observing their mating activities at zero gravity. We hope that the Russians manage to establish contact with their
love boat satellite.
JOE Towers aren't too worried though. We believe that geckos are still alive and well. Marvin Gaye’s Greatest Hits is being played on repeat and the little reptiles are enjoying some quiet alone time… with themselves.
Who doesn't love geckos? Apart from this news anchor?

Update:
It's over people... No need to panic or start grabbing supplies from the local supermarkets. The Roscosmos AKA the Russian space agency, has confirmed that it has regained control of the stricken satellite and stopped the little rascals from world domination.
Reports are emerging that the sole male lizard is to blame for the lack of contact, apparently he didn't like being monitored while he was doing his thang...
