Ok so I'm all for science but this one has to rank high in the ewwwww factor.

Astronaut tests endurance of his undies

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL -- 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.

Wakata has been off the planet for 4 1/2 months.

"I haven't talked about this underwear to my crew members," Wakata said in an interview with The Associated Press, drawing a big laugh from his six shuttle colleagues. "But I wore them for about a month, and my station crew members never complained for about a month, so I think the experiment went fine."

OK I'm sorry but ewwwwwwwwwwww. Maybe they didn't smell but I'm sure they got crusty. Plus lets talk all about hygiene here or the lack of. I don't care how high tech they are I'll pass. Maybe if your a soldier dropped off in a location that you need these then ok but for the average joe/jane I can't imagine this will be a hit.

So the question is would you buy them and would you go a month with out changing them?

I should add that today about 9:45 my little one and I were standing outside when we heard a loud BOOM - it was the shuttle coming back to earth and hitting the sound barrier. We only get to hear that every blue moon. It was cool but it sounded like a bomb going off.
