Hawking Awarded Copley Medal

The British Royal Society is awarding the Copley Medal to Stephen Hawking on Nov. 30. The unique aspect of this is that the medal was flown on the Space Shuttle Discovery last July.

Don't you just wish that the Shuttle can actually do some actual, publishable science, rather than just various publicity stunts such as this? Not that I have anything against publicity stunts all the time, but this is one very expensive publicity stunt to maintain this long.
