Three Astronauts will be inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. Can you guess who they are?

As Japan’s first long-duration astronaut, Wakata spent the majority of his mission carrying out experiments in the ISS.

He was also conducting an experiment of sorts as he revealed that he had been wearing the same pair of prototype underpants for a month to test their ability to withstand space life. "My space station crew mates never complained," he told an interviewer on Thursday.

Designed to be anti-static, flame-resistant, odor-eating, bacteria-killing, and water-absorbent, the underpants are part of a project aimed at making sure that future space travelers have optimal room in their suitcases.

Surfing takes on new meaning with this magic carpet. Apparently, you can stand on it and manipulate it to go where you want it to go in zero gravity. Can you say Ali Baba?

Perhaps Lunatics and other social deviants and hardened criminals should be shipped off to the moon for some lunar therapy. They can check themselves into a Looney Farm...food for thought.

We're going to need potable water for drinking, cooking and washing. Do any of the bottled spring water companies deliver to the Moon yet?

Aside from slaying Martian monsters, and looking for the treasure trove of Sam Adams Utopias reputed to be hidden under the crust near Olympus Mons, in this quest how would you extract metal on Mars?

It's my birthday this weekend and you're planning something special. Where on Luna do you take me?

It's Death Valley, Earth. I thought I saw an Oasis on the Moon...what chain of hotels are there?

I recently clicked on a link that took me to this site. It's seems like a good idea. Has anyone tried it yet? Thx.

When the Large Hadron Collider is turned on in August, will we be bombarded with particles or will Earth be in melt down mode? Shouldn't experiments like this take place offline like on another moon or planet? With the pole reversals, what will be the ramifications?

On spacecraft bound for Mars:

1. Would super leaded paint on the exterior and interior of a spacecraft provide some degree of radiation shielding?

2. Would dark skinned persons have an advantage over lighter skinned individuals on long haul space flights?

3. Could a neodymium boron magnet be installed on spacecraft to repel radiation, would it interfere with navigation?

Will all my kitchen appliances (crock pot, deep fryer, food processor, blender, toaster, etc) work on the moon? This will be the first restaurant and bakery on the Moon and Mars.

Serious answers only, please.

Jonathan McCullum was in perfect health at 155 lbs when he left to spend the school year as an exchange student in Egypt.

But when he returned home to Maine 4 months later, the 5'9" teenager weighed a mere 97 pounds and was so weak that he struggled to carry his baggage or climb a flight of stairs. Doctors said he was at risk for a heart attack.

Do you think this was intentional? And what recourse does he have?

Why do people have tattoos all over their bodies? It's like branding yourself with ink and it's not body beautiful to look at. Why not just use a branding iron, it's faster and more efficient.

Casinos are popping up overnight in this country. Are parents wasting their children's educational dollars on casinos? It's bad enough they spend all their money on LOTTO. Children go to bed hungry all over the country because parents spend it all on gambling. What's happening to our moral standards? This is even worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.

It seems people would rather pick a fight and kill and steal than go to a Public Library and become educated. It's one thing if you can't afford to go to college to become an engineer or physicists or scientist. But surely one can sit in the Library and learn something constructive, because all the Libraries in the U.S. are FREE. ....FREE....FREE. So why is that?

Liquid Nitrogen is a liquid at 77 deg. Kelvin. To prevent it from warming and expanding to a gaseous state, at what temperature would I have to set a thermostat to keep it cryogenically cooled to 77deg Kelvin. In other words, does it take a lot of energy to keep it at that temperature?

Nome, Alaska: American Indians and Alaska Natives have a 550% higher rate of alcohol-related deaths than nonnative Americans, a disparity blamed in part on inadequate health care.

It has six bars, four liquor stores and two private clubs that sell booze, and annual alcohol sales total $5.5 million, which is equal to more than half of the city's annual budget.

Is Greed killing off the Eskimos??

My biology teacher said that water and CO2 are the byproducts of aerobic respiration and went on to explain the Krebs/citric acid cycle. And we were given this equation:

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

Does that mean we will drown in our own water that we give off? Wow that blows my mind.
