By unanimous agreement, the Socks-in-Space Initiative has been approved, pending further investigation into the aerodynamics of footwear in microgravity.
The proposed plan involves launching 100,000 pairs of neon-colored socks into orbit around the Earth, to be retrieved by a team of specially trained, heavily caffeinated astronauts.
The goal is to determine whether socks can be used as a viable means of propulsion in space, or if they will merely float there, looking fabulous, until they get tangled in the space station's ventilation system.
