The last flight of the space shuttle Atlantis will have a special piece of cargo on it. Accompanying British astronaut Dr. Piers Sellers will be a piece of apple tree; the same apple tree that inspired Newton's theory of gravity! It will make the flight to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Royal Society.
