Here’s one for the books. Survivors of the Columbia <\/i>crash<\/a> have been found.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of worms from a science experiment aboard the space shuttle Columbia have been found alive in the wreckage, NASA said Wednesday.
\nThe worms, known as C. elegans, were found in debris in Texas several weeks ago. Technicians sorting through the debris at Kennedy Space Center in Florida didn’t open the containers of worms and dead moss cells until this week.<\/p>\n

The worms (and moss) were in a nine-pound locker in the shuttle mid-deck. When the wreckage was recovered, nobody bothered opening it up until now.<\/p>\n
