The space shuttle Endeavour is backdropped by a blue and white Earth, as seen from the international space station soon after the shuttle and station separated on Tuesday.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In what might embarrass less adventurous souls, astronaut Koichi Wakata is returning to Earth with the underwear he kept on for a solid month during his space station stay and scientists will check them out.
They’re experimental high-tech undies, designed in Japan to be odor free.
The Japanese spaceman described his underwear test Thursday as shuttle Endeavour and its crew aimed for a touchdown the next morning. The astronauts released some mini satellites, their final job before Friday’s re-entry, and said it was time to come home after more than two weeks aloft.
