Neither do I, not really. I gathered from the other comments that it had something to do with David Bowie, who just died. Some googling showed he performed as “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”, that there is a type of spider named after him, and that at least some of Bowie’s records were recorded on the Rattlesnake label. Don’t know about the Space Shuttle thing.Wouldn’t have even known what to search for without other people mentioning David Bowie.
The cartoon has nothing to do with David Bowie. It has to do with a spider large enough to take on (and beat) a rattle snake. So the other one is going to invent the space shuttle to get of a planet with an extremely large spider.

I think we may have just reached the Singularity: where I haven’t a single clue what everybody’s talking about.
