Technology In Sapce

NASA testing RFID chips for trip to Mars
Starting this summer NASA is planning to begin testing to determine whether or not RFID chips can survive in outer space. Both paper and plasric chips will be on board the the US space shuttle Endeavor which is scheduled for a July takeoff. The chips will be stored in a case attached to the outside of the international space station for about a year to see how they hold up agains atmosphere conditions. Whether or not they survive, they will create business here on Earth. If they do survive the company that made them is probably going to profit. If they don't survive, then the company that can create ones that do will be making lucrative amounts of money.
