Wow, some people have all the luck. Not only will they get to orbit the earth, but they will be able to play with LEGO bricks without the fear of stepping on pieces!
In February 2011 more than a dozen LEGO activities will be flown to the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts will build LEGO models, complete educational activities, and record the results.
UPDATE: The Brothers Brick have posted the press release from the NASA side of the partnership here.
