@AkaSci@fosstodon.orgNASA is sponsoring a design contest for the zero gravity indicator (ZGI) for the Artemis II mission around the Moon.
Prize: US$1225.
Zero gravity indicators are small items carried aboard spacecraft that provide a visual indicator for when a spacecraft has reached the weightlessness of microgravity.
Quick - someone please enter the Mastodon plushie into the contest 
Mastodon in space and on the moon will be so cool!

This Snoopy zero gravity indicator (ZGI) accompanied the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis I mission. An astronaut costume obviously helps.
Here is a video from NASA about Snoopy the zero gravity indicator (ZGI) which flew with the Orion spacecraft during the uncrewed Artemis I mission round the moon.
