SpaceX 'stowaway' revealed by crew as sons' dinosaur toy 'Tremor'
A stowaway aboard SpaceX's first mission to launch astronauts to the International Space Station may have set a new record — the most sequins to enter Earth orbit.
www.space.comI can’t verify the latest details right now, but here’s what’s circulating this week.
- There’s several low-credibility reports and tabloid-style pieces about Reid Wiseman and a “moon mascot” named Rise tied to the Artemis II mission. These stories describe Wiseman allegedly rescuing or keeping the mascot after splashdown, but many outlets are mixing satire and sensationalism with actual mission reporting.[4][5]
- Reputable coverage from Space.com and official NASA communications are generally focused on mission milestones (launch, splashdown, crew activities) and do not confirm a “mascot rescue” as an official event. If you want the most reliable account, check NASA’s Artemis II press releases and Space.com’s mission pages for any updates on the mascot topic.[1][3]
