Get ready for some exciting news! The beloved beagle, Snoopy, will be taking on a special role for an upcoming NASA mission. That’s right, our favorite pup is heading to space once again, but this time he’s got a more official gig than just being a cartoon character. In 2022, Astronaut Snoopy will serve as the zero-gravity indicator for Artemis I, an uncrewed mission that aims to set the stage for a return to the Moon and eventually, Mars.
Snoopy’s Custom Space Suit
Snoopy will be donned in a custom-made space suit that meets NASA’s rigorous safety standards. Not only will he be floating around in micro-gravity, but he’ll also be the plush ambassador for space exploration aboard this mission. Remember how Snoopy first ventured into space with NASA during the Apollo X mission? That mission was a practice run for the Moon landing, with the lunar module humorously named Snoopy and the command module called Charlie Brown. It’s like history is repeating itself!
The Importance of Artemis I
The Artemis I mission is crucial because it will prepare for the first woman and first person of color to land on the lunar surface. Snoopy’s presence is symbolic, as it represents progress in space exploration. Plus, there’s a cool documentary coming up on the Take Care with Peanuts Channel on GoNoodle.com, showcasing how Snoopy’s space suit was made.
A Legacy Continues
Craig Johnson, the son of Charles Schulz, expressed how proud his father would be of this collaboration. “My dad always considered his connection with NASA through Peanuts to be one of the highlights of his life, alongside his service in WWII,” he shared. It’s heartwarming to see this legacy continue as Snoopy takes part in NASA’s 21st-century explorations.
