CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - 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 odourless 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.
The Japanese underwear, called J-Wear, is a new type of anti-bacterial, water-absorbent, odourless-eliminating clothing designed for space travel. The line includes shirts, pants and socks as well. Wakata tested all of them during his mission; he had four pairs of the silver-coated underwear, a cross between briefs and boxers.

"We'll see the results after landing," Wakata said.

J-Wear is billed as being antistatic and flame retardant, which is especially important for spaceship wear. The cotton and polyester clothes are also seamless, making them lighter and more comfortable, according to the Japanese Space Agency. The goal is "comfortable everyday clothes for life in a spaceship."

i'll wait til they come in 3packs !

odourless free does that mean they HAVE odor?

I mean...if you manufactured stinky underwear, could you claim
odourless free?

I hope they don't burn up on re-entry!

So THAT's what they call it? "Releasing mini-satellites?"

We used to call it FLUSHING THE TOILET!

GEEEEZ... 3-packs - a lifetime supply!

I would hate to be the guy that has to sniff them when he comes back.

"J-Wear is billed as being antistatic and flame retardant, which is especially important for spaceship wear".......WTF? IF the spacecraft is on fire,I think "flame retardant" would be insignificant at that point..........
