Little Earth, also called Buddy, has enjoyed an eventful week tagging along with the astronauts on the International Space Station after launching on SpaceX's Crew Dragon on Saturday. The plush toy, made by Celestial Buddies, launched alongside space-suited dummy Ripley. Ripley, obviously named in honor of Ellen Ripley from the"Alien" movies, was meant to make sure that the first commercially operated spacecraft designed to carry astronauts would be safe and comfortable for humans.
— Intl. Space Station March 3, 2019 In case you haven't been following the plush toy's adventures on astronaut Anne McClain's Twitter, here's a recap. The dawn of a new era in human spaceflight pic.twitter.com/BHsfg1zYLN — Anne McClain March 4, 2019 On Tuesday, Little Earth was up early with the astronauts, slurping down coffee and trying on an emergency mask that swallowed up most of his body. "Earth's second day on @Space_Station started early, but he was happy to learn that even in space, the day starts off with coffee. Then it was emergency mask donning practice with @Astro_DavidS - if there's an ammonia leak, we have just seconds to protect ourselves," McClain tweeted.
— Anne McClain March 6, 2019 The workouts weren't enough to tire him out, so he learned all about what some of the controls do -- and may have tried to take a joyride. "Earth's 3rd day was busy! Briefings on how we manage trash and how to work the controls for @csa_asc Canadarm2 , then a lesson on Soyuz descent with @Astro_DavidS ..." McClain tweeted.
