Groot and Rocket Raccoon are Headed to the ISS
In the last couple years NASA has been trying to reach out to the public with pop culture references, so maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) has teamed up with Marvel for a next International Space Station Mission patch. This upcoming embroidery will feature two of the comic publishing giant’s most beloved space-faring characters.
That’s right, Groot and (a shockingly adorable) Rocket Raccoon are on this, frankly, fantastic patch.
Honestly, this is a great idea. NASA is pretty dependent on public good will for support and this should is a pretty great way to get that.
