Baby Yoda is cruisin’ to new heights. A plush toy version of the creature (which stole people’s hearts in The Mandalorian on Disney+) has been spotted bouncing around alongside the four astronauts who were part of the SpaceX mission that blasted off on Sunday. The crew docked with the International Space Station late Monday night. No official confirmation yet as to how or why Baby Yoda got picked for this mission. What’s one special thing you would take with you into space?
