NASA sent a space shuttle to outer space and with it they sent two spiders to see if they could spin a web without gravity. After two weeks one of the spiders successfully made a web. The other spider they lost, but in a few days they found it. Then it started spinning a web. So the astronauts found out spiders really can spin webs without gravity. The webs were not three dimensional, they were actually two dimensional.
