Last night I watched this really good documentary called I Am Big Bird and NASA had reached out to the puppeteer who performed as Big Bird from day one and asked if he would be interested in going to space, since he had already gone to China and there wasn't anywhere else further away for him to go. He discussed it with his wife who said basically go if you think it's the right thing, he was totally hype for it, really champing at the bit. Unfortunately NASA contacted him and said sorry mate, the Big Bird costume is just too bulky to send to space so we are going to send a teacher. I had no idea about this and straight up was like in shock upon learning we almost lost Big Bird. Could you imagine having to explain to your child Big Bird died right before their eyes?

Yeah I did, I'm glad it didn't happen so parents didn't have to tell their children "Big Bird died horrifically as the very air in his lungs combusted and his blood boiled". That would've hosed me up as a kid.

That was Elmo and it was 16 and 17 year olds, which is legal or a gray area in most states.

....but enough about my posts
I heard that the Challenger exploded because Reagan wanted it to be in space during his State of the Union so he could like do some cheesy salute to them during his speech (as it was described, NASA knew about the issues related to the cold loving up their o-rings and had already delayed launch a week but basically bowed to pressure from the White House when it came down to the absolute limit of getting it up in time for the 'stunt')
