Internationally-recognized celestial being Pope Benedict XVI will holler at space next month, when he calls a pair of Italian astronauts aboard the International Space Station on a special Vatican hotline set up especially for holy calls from the Pope to outer space. If the Pope is really nice, he'll give the astronaut going up in the shuttle a pair of his lucky red slippers.
