Interesting

NAMPA, ID - A Christian missionary support agency says a piece of mission history is part of this week's space shuttle mission.

Mission Aviation Fellowship says Discovery astronaut Patrick Forrester received NASA permission to take part of the battery box from martyred missionary Nate Saint's plane into space with him. Saint and four other missionaries were slain by an isolated tribe in the jungles of Ecuador in 1956.
