Stellar Goal?

Most will admit that Brazil's national soccer team is out of this world. Now, one of their jerseys is going out of this world--literally.

Brazilians are quite excited about the prospect of one of their own being in space soon. He is set to take off tomorrow at 11 pm (Brazilian time--9pm for you EST gringos out there).

Should Brazilians win the World Cup this year (it would be their sixth victory), it will be a truly "stellar" year for the country.

Here's hoping!

Correction: The liftoff is tonight at 9:30 EST. Check out details of the launch here.
