GiGi the Build-A-Bear to Blast Off to Space with Axiom Space Partnership

Axiom Space and Build-A-Bear have partnered to send a teddy bear named GiGi as the fifth crew member alongside the Axiom Mission 2 astronauts. GiGi's mission is to inspire children around the world to learn about space and consider careers in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (STEAM). The partnership aims to encourage children of all ages to learn about space exploration and expand access to microgravity for individuals, countries, and institutions to conduct meaningful scientific research.
