A zero-gravity indicator designed by a San Francisco Bay Area second-grader is onboard Artemis II, Nasa’s first crewed lunar mission in over 50 years. As the rocket entered space following Wednesday’s launch, the smiley-faced plush toy was designed to float under the zero-gravity conditions, indicating to the astronauts they have achieved weightlessness.
Eight-year-old Lucas Ye, from Mountain View, is an avid space enthusiast and the mastermind behind the indicator.
