Scientists just got their space-bound luggage back after a four-year wait.On October 3, containers filled with experimental materials that might one day be used to build the vehicles that carry humans to Mars were opened for the first time since their return to Earth. These materials endured four years of continuous exposure in space before Space Shuttle Discovery brought them back in August.
The materials endured very well as a group, though some samples were missing and there was light damage to the case shells.
