Okay so I was a bad astronomer last night because I was too exhausted to stay up to watch the SpaceX launch live, but I sure woke up in a hurry this morning when I saw on my Insta stories that there was a special little passenger in the capsule!
In case you didn’t immediately recognize it like I did, it’s a plushy Earth by Celestial Buddies! We’ve been huge fans of Celestial Buddies for years now and we carry the entire collection of plushies at the BOOTHtique wherever we go. The are not only adorable, but awesome teaching tools too - I personally use my Earth, Moon, and Sun all the time when I talk to kids. And if I could go to low Earth orbit, you better believe I’d be using one as my zero g indicator too. ;)
Check out all our Celestial Buddies posts here and come see us at #AAS234 in St. Louis in June to take any and all buddies into your own orbit.
