NASA asks students for space decor

Pennants onboard the ISSHot on the heels of the competition that renamed Node2 to "Harmony", NASA has released another request: Design a space pennant to fly up to the station with Educator Astronaut Barbara Morgan on STS-118 this summer.

This special banner would join numerous other military, sports, and college pennants that have flown into space. The student that designs the banner will get a trip to see the launch, a Space Day for their school, and a lot of other special opportunities.

The competition is co-sponsored by Mad Science and KAOL (AOL for Kids). Contest ends April 10.

Read more at KAOL Expeditons or see the release on collectSPACE.com.

Special thanks to Xeni Jardin at BoingBoing.net for covering the story.

Dear,Friend
Two astronauts from the US shuttle Endeavour successfully completed a fifth and

final spacewalk of their mission late Saturday, stepping into the void to attach a

50-foot sensory boom to the outside of the International Space Station.
