Cape Canaveral – countless TV viewers around the world* watched the breathtaking launch of the SpaceX rocket from Cape Canaveral spaceport into space on Saturday evening. It was impressive live recordings of the picture book launch of the Falcon 9 missile. It took the rocket just a few minutes to reach space. Then there was a puzzling scene in the “Dragon 2” space capsule – seen live on TV.
One of the two astronauts held up a soft toy dinosaur, which then hovered in front of the camera. It is an ancient tradition of space travel NASA – and there may also be a message to the family on Earth.

SpaceX: This is behind the dino scene in the Dragon2 space capsule
Once a spaceship Zero-G reached, that is weightlessness, the flying “blind passenger” indicates that you have left Earth. It is, so to speak, the indicator that one is outside the earth’s gravitational force. At this point, the astronauts themselves are still firmly strapped to their seats and are not yet floating. It was immediately researched online which stuffed animal had made it into space this time.
Grade:
I’m pretty sure that’s the TY Flippables Tremor Dinosaur, 6 ”tall with blue / pink reversible sequins.If so, it’s a retired plushie that is no longer manufactured, so you can only acquire it on the resale market. pic.twitter.com/k51gJfHbP2

Third SpaceX passenger: Another soft toy dino was already on the ISS
That it was a stuffed animal dino, of course, could also have been a message down. Because Astronaut Douglas G. Hurley, who let the dino fly, is married to Karen Nyberg. She is also an astronaut and took a homemade dinosaur with her for her son Jack in 2013 ISS.

The new spaceship dino will also be up to International space station get there, that’s where Hurley is on the Falcon 9 rocket. It is the third space mission for the 54-year-old American.
