Yes, I heard about this recently. I believe they went up on todays launch
of Discovery [today is March 13, 1989]. 

But what I wonder about in these experiments is how do they know that the
results they get back on the space eggs are the result of the micro-gravity
environment and not some damage caused by the hi-g blast off and shaking?

If you hatch scrambled eggs do you get scrambled chickens? :-)
