This little mascot, which is freely floating about along with the rest of the Artemis crew, is arguably one of the least essential components of NASA’s 10-day lunar slingshot.

Radiation Protection
While out in deep space, the Artemis II astronauts are showered by intense radiation — not just from our Sun, but from the rest of the cosmos. While they won’t be put in lethal danger, it will have a deleterious effect on them. And although their health will be monitored during the mission, their bone marrow organ chips will provide a precise measure of how that radiation impacts a fundamental part of their biology.

The Race to Replace Starlink on the Battlefield
With Starlink, drones could cover distances of hundreds or thousands of kilometers. And since Starlink satellite links cannot be easily jammed, these drones are also hard to stop, providing a significant advantage to those who have access to the constellation’s connectivity.
