      I don’t think a cow has ever been to space. This is slightly anti-cow if you ask me (equal rights for cows now!) I think you could milk a cow in the international space station, the milk would float about the place when it came out so you might need to place the bucket in a different place than usual. In space itself the much lower pressure in space would suck all the milk out of the cow very quickly, unless the cow was in a spacesuit. Why do you want to do this again? 🙂
