Space competition experiments set for Sept.

TROY (AP) -- Science experiments from two Michigan high school students and a young man from Egypt are expected to be performed next month aboard the International Space Station. Organizers of the competition to have experiments done by astronauts 250 miles above Earth recently announced that TV personality Bill Nye will host a live online video stream of the experiments Sept. 13. Dorothy Chen and Sara Ma were named winners in March in the 14- to 16-year-old age group. The Troy High School students' experiment asks the question: "Could alien superbugs cure disease on Earth?" Amr Mohamed from Egypt won the 17- to 18-year-old age group for an experiment about spiders. They're expected to watch the online stream. YouTube, Lenovo, and private space exploration company Space Adventures organized the competition. ---------------- Online: http://www.youtube.com/spacelab. Published: Tue, Sep 4, 2012
