TIL Big Bird nearly flew on the doomed Challenger space shuttle but was spared because the suit was too large.

I’d really like to know how they expected to accomplish this. Have you seen the suit? That thing has no chance of fitting.
What suit? Big Bird is naked.
I want to live in the reality where he was on it
Holy shit. We watched that launch live at school y’all. We (and our teachers) had a lot of trauma to deal with after that. If they had Big Bird up on that thing…holy shit.
