Enough about guitar strings in space!!!

1. Yes, you can play an electric guitar in space.
2. Sure, it might be interesting to hear the difference of the sustains
   in a vacuum, but
3. IT CAN BE DONE ON THE GROUND IN A VACUUM CHAMBER!!!

To REALLY interest NASA in a shuttle project, you have to pick something
that can be done cheaper in space than on the ground.  Weightlessness
should have little or no effect on a guitar string.
