Apparently, yes, on the international space station as we speak! Part of some on-broad experiments, including seeing how their webs turn out in zero-gravity.
When you read the article you'll notice a little error that gave me the latitude (altitude?) to feel like this news item belonged in the insects news, even if in taxonomic error....
Apparently these spider experiments were done some 30 years before - perhaps the scientists felt it was time for a replicate? Let's hope.
