I read about a real strange experiment going up on 41C, which lifts off
this Friday (or this past Friday for many of you suffering from Usenet
jet lag).  They are sending up 13 million tomatoe seeds (13 MILLION!).
They are going to put them in orbit, presumably in some kind of
hydroponic apparatus, and leave them there, to be picked up about ten
months from now by another shuttle mission.  Boy, we're starting to put
some strange stuff in orbit these days.
