A Cute Little Teddy Bear Accompanied Ali Al Qarni And Rayyanah Barnawi On Their Journey To Space!

Hera Shabbir

News has been buzzing about Saudi astronauts Rayyanah Barnawi and Ali Al Qarni taking off to space. The two astronauts were joined by American astronauts: commander Peggy Whitson and pilot John Shoffner. However, there was a fifth member aboard that should definitely be talked about.

This cute little teddy bear named GiGi was aboard their flight to space!

The Build-A-Bear took off with the crew from Florida, USA for the sole purpose of inspiring kids. With GiGi in space, NASA hopes to inspire younger kids to learn about space and take on careers in the STEAM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) industry.

The fifth member of the Axiom launch is here to inspire and even has her space fit ready!
