Think you've got the Right Stuff? Then break out the crochet needles, fire up the pottery wheel, or begin burning new screen printing designs.

Brooklyn-based Etsy, the homemade wares website, has struck a deal with NASA to send its best and brightest into outer space, according to CNET's Caroline McCarthy.

Speaking at a PSFK Conference today, Etsy founder Robert Kalin (SA 100 #50) explained a program he said Etsy and NASA are calling "Space Craft". The idea: Etsy members create products based on the NASA logo. The best will become part of the NASA gift shop. And the two best of those get to become astronauts, Kalin said. "The audience seemed a bit taken aback," Caroline notes.

But we think this is a great idea. Who better to shoot into space then craft-oriented folks? You, over there zonked out on rubber cement fumes, gluing sequins onto your blue-dyed macaroni necklace with a pendant made of marshmallows in the shape of a space shuttle! We want to send you hurtling away from earth into a black abyss at 3 times the force of gravity!

We think John Glenn is working on a funky NASA jewelery design as we speak.
