Message-ID: <1060@inuxc.UUCP> Date: Mon, 5-Nov-84 11:31:08 EST Article-I.D.: inuxc.1060 Posted: Mon Nov 5 11:31:08 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 6-Nov-84 06:46:13 EST Organization: AT&T Consumer Products Div., Indianapolis Lines: 22 If I recall correctly, the long term exposure facility, deployed by the shuttle awhile back, carries a bunch of tomato seeds. These seeds are to be distributed to schools across the country to conduct experiments between space tomatos and Earth tomatos. For the last three years I have had the privilege of lecturing to the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at IPS #113 about astronomy. The program includes one lecture on the space shuttle and current activities in the space program. With that background out of the way, on to my question. Does anyone out there in netland know whom we need to contact to get IPS #113 some of the space tomatos seeds? Thanks Fred
