Peeps

and while I'm at it...

For the past two years, NASA scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center, in cooperation with ham radio enthusiasts, have pursued a high-flying program to investigate the meteoroid population of the stratosphere.

One after another, weather balloons have been launched carrying a special dust collector designed to capture high-speed but fragile meteoroids. The first weather balloon mission was during the Leonids meteor shower on November 17, 1998. Subsequent flights included the 1999 Perseid meteor shower, the 1999 Leonids meteor storm, and a control flight on April 11, 1999 when no meteor showers were active.

Stowed away on the weather balloon sent aloft in April 1999 were five tiny Peeps. How they got there is controversial. Most of his colleagues think they were smuggled on board by Bryan Walls, an irreverent member of the launch team. However it happened, one thing is clear -- these Peeps were not purchased with tax dollars and NASA does not endorse these brightly colored sweet treats!

If you want the full story, or at least as much as NASA is willing to release, click on the pic of the peeponauts. http://science.nasa.gov/images/apr11/strappedin.jpg Yes, it's really a link to the NASA web site.

You shouldn't be eating them yet, they haven't matured/cured to the proper degree by this time in the spring.
