what was the experiment with the mice about?
A biological cosmic ray experiment (BIOCORE)
Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey
. A biological cosmic ray experiment (BIOCORE) carried the five pocket mice ("Perognathus longimembris"), a species chosen for the experiment because they had well documented biological responses. Some advantages of the species included their small size, their ease of maintenance in an isolated state (requiring no drinking water for the expected duration of the mission and producing highly concentrated waste), and their proven capability of withstanding environmental stress.

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey had been implanted with radiation monitors under their scalps to see whether they would suffer damage from cosmic rays. Four of the five mice survived the flight; the cause of death of the fifth was not determined.
when was the last time anyone walked on the moon December 7–19, 1972 who was that person? Its crew consisted of Commander Eugene Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt, and Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and it carried a biological experiment containing five mice. what was the mission called?

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey [SEP] Mission
Apollo 17 launched December 7, 1972, and returned to Earth on December 19.

Some advantages of the species included their small size, their ease of maintenance in an isolated state (requiring no drinking water for the expected duration of the mission and producing highly concentrated waste), and their proven capability of withstanding environmental stress.
