Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield sent an encouraging tweet in support of Stargazer Lottie Doll and the designer and inspiration; six year old Abigail!
Yay Abigail! She started by launching a rocket, won the ‘Little Scientist’ Space Age Award at the New York Toy Fair: https://t.co/OMoLlOlR7x
Commander Chris Hadfield is undoubtedly Abigail's hero, so the news of his joy at watching Abigail's story is sure to have made this six year old fellow Canadian's day!
Abigail 0:47; “He’s my hero, he went up into space and I had to ask him if he saw any meteorites!”
Earlier this year, Lottie became the 'first doll in space'; and British ESA Astronaut Tim Peake tweeted a photo of Stargazer Lottie in the cupola of the International Space Station.
