ASTROJAX WORKS IN SPACE
As part of NASA's TOYS IN SPACE program, astronauts on the international space station (NASA mission STS-111) played with a set of Astrojax PLUS on Tuesday, July 16 2002, at 12.00 Houston time. In a live broadcast on NASA TV they answered questions from school children invited by the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Asked whether Astojax works in space, Astronaut Peggy Ann Whitson said: "Astrojax are actually a lot of fun here in space too" and went on demonstrating the toy. And it worked indeed! It kept spinning even after the Russian astronaut let go of it and was beautifully floating through space...
