So what do you do with your clothes when you're done with them? If you're on the international space station, you stuff them in an old spacesuit, add a radio, stuff it out the airlock and call it science. The guys on the space station are going to do just that. The empty suit will float along in orbit, sending several code works in six different languages with the intent that school children all over the world will tune in. What a wonderful opportunity for teachers to introduce all kinds of science and math topics. I only wish that things like this were available when I was in school.
