Scientific knowledge/learning methods/handmade tutorials, "Kuangwan Science" may be the most fun Toutiao account
I have to say that those with the surname Ma are very good. Just when the science fiction concept of "Traveling with Xiaopo" impressed the Chinese people, Musk, CEO of SpaceX, really turned around the "earth" and ran , but the earth looked a little smaller:

yes, this small ball is actually just an ordinary plush toy, which can be regarded as "really small ball". However, has been stationed in international space for several days .
even with the help of collective staff of the space station, this toy small broken ball carried out various "works". In addition to learning various aerospace knowledge, is responsible for being cute .
For example, when you get up in the morning, you can have coffee with astronauts... International Space Station astronaut Anne McClain said in Twitter that "the astronaut's day also starts with a cup of coffee."

practice wearing and wearing emergency protection and port:
inspect and repair pipelines with astronauts:
run and exercise with astronauts, and watch it wear headphones, Kuang Wan really wants to know where the ears of the earth are:
still try Racing··Although this is the International Space Station, it is not Akime Mountain:
Then I ran to learn about the knowledge about the descent and escape of the space station:
Finally, I shared dinner with the astronaut with another toy Paxi:
In short, the small broken ball round body with the eyes as big as sesame seeds is really cute no matter what I do. The arms were stretched out, completely in a gesture of asking for a hug. Who can withstand this:
So, why did such a cute toy be sent to heaven by Musk ? This matter still starts from the Dragon 2 manned spacecraft a few days ago.
We all know that Musk always wants to escape from the gravity of the earth, and the "Dragon Spaceship" introduced last year was finally launched on March 2, Beijing time by the Falcon 9 rocket and successfully completed docking with the International Space Station on the 3rd of this month. This is also the first time that the American-made manned spacecraft has arrived at the space station in the past eight years.
According to CNN, since the US space shuttle project was suspended in 2011, American astronauts have had to rely on Russian manned spacecraft if they want to go to the sky. At the same time, the "ticket" is expensive, with each seat worth US$80 million. This situation is like having the most luxurious toilet in the world at home, but having to pay to go to someone else's house to defecate.
So NASA signed contracts with SpaceX and Boeing as early as 2014, of which SpaceX received US$2.6 billion to study new spacecraft.
And after all the twists and turns, the Dragon 2 manned spacecraft is undoubtedly the work handed over by SpaceX. It is understood that this spacecraft not only has a simpler control system, but also has a large space and can accommodate 7 astronauts. Of course, this flight was not carrying a real astronaut, but a dummy named Ripley.
Interestingly, the name Ripley pays tribute to Ellen Ripley, a heroine in the "Alien" series of movies. emmm, maybe Musk hopes the heroine to bless the spaceship with safety.
But speaking of this reality, this Iron Man in reality has to do something every time he launches a rocket, and Kuangmao has become accustomed to it.Last year, I brushed rockets and sent sports cars to Lao Tie God. This year, in addition to the dummy, before the spacecraft was on the sky, Musk suddenly posted on Twitter that he added an ultra-high-tech " zero-gravity indicator" to the spacecraft. It sounds tall and proud, but the result is the guy below:
After the tweet was posted, it immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch, such as someone pretending to be a small broken ball and saying that he got on the wrong car:
There are also some people who are worried about millions of roads, the first is safety. Why don't you get a seat belt for the small earth?
Musk also actively responded: Seat belt? It floats up in a while and cannot be used.
so, as the "zero gravity indicator", what exactly is doing? actually has its function and function just as the literal meaning of the name. The so-called "zero gravity indicator" means that when it begins to float in the air, it means that the environment it is in has begun to be in a weightless state.
High-tech is not a question, but more characters like mascots. Before this, the "high-tech zero-gravity indicator" had a variety of shapes and everything.

. After the spacecraft successfully connected with the space station, this toy's small broken ball began to attract fans and "show" . First, it floated around in the live broadcast, which was very dishonest:
In order to take photos of it, the astronaut had to forcefully fix the position:
As long as there is its lens, there is no time to steal the show. David Saint on the left's astronaut David Saint's eyes will always involuntarily aim at the flying small broken ball.
Astronaut Anne McClain also poked it while greeting audiences around the world:
However, it also has unlucky times flying around. Just because the astronaut was not careful, it was kicked:
After several days of space performance, Xiaobang immediately attracted the attention of a large number of earth fans. At the same time, the most common question netizens asked is, how can I have such a small broken ball in ?
The answer is very regrettable. Just when everyone was discussing fiercely, the same toy had already run out of the world, and sold out .
So what is the origin of this toy? Isn’t it specially customized, but it can be bought by everyone? In fact, this is a series of toys called Celestial Buddies, the company is located in Connecticut, USA, and Little Earth is their main product.
Before this, Celestial Buddies' sales channels were simply museums and science center gift shops. As a popular science toy, their sales can only be said to be lukewarm, but Musk's promotion instantly became a popular online product.

became a hit product even making Jessie Silbert, the company's vice president of sales, unable to touch his mind. Although orders increased sharply within two days, he had no idea that his product was about to go to heaven. , and then almost carelessly, the order volume of the little earth dolls has far exceeded the inventory, so they had to immediately issue an apology letter saying that fans can make an appointment or refund. In addition to the pre-sale measures,
Celestial Buddhas also upgraded the hottest small earth and proposed the Our Precious Planet plan:
, which is the larger earth doll, whose diameter has been upgraded from 15 cm to about 22 cm. If you can't buy a small one, you can try the larger one first.
Actually, there are almost 14 plush toys as cute as the Little Breaking Ball. Most of them are neighbors in the solar system.
This is the Sun Brother, who is well-deservedly a member of the C position with this explosive momentum, and it is also one of the largest toys:
This is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, and the fastest planet in the solar system. It only takes 88 days to fly around the sun.So in terms of styling, I designed a running shoe for it.
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than that of any other planet in the solar system. Perhaps the high temperature means the dress is cool, so in the toy setting, she is a hot girl.
There are about 500,000 craters formed by impacts of meteors and asteroids on the moon, so large and small crater patterns are retained on the toys.
Kuangwan thinks that the wildest appearance in this series is Mars. Not only does it have a red appearance like rust, but the ice cap on Mars that is frozen all year round is also made into a tuft of white hair:
The biggest feature of Uranus is that its axis of rotation is abnormally tilted, which leads to its rotation direction completely different from other planets. According to the official introduction of Celestial Buddhas, others are like gyroscopes, but it looks like somersaults:
The brothers below are Pluto and Nether Guard 17, who have been fired from the nine planets.
In addition to always dancing with Brother Mingweiyi, it is the most impressive feature that should be a pattern of love on the chest.
What is more interesting is Comet . Comets are mainly composed of ice and dust, so the toys are not only gray, but also have long hairs, like a mud ball. In addition, the comet's long tail turned into a moxidan hairstyle, which was a pair of brothers with Mars.
The funnyest one in this set of toys is the black hole, and is completely a bag that stores pillows . Because the black holes in the universe have strong gravity, in the toy setting, it can swallow any other toy, from comets to Jupiter, it is all one bite:
Polaris is also very interesting. It will shine, but it also conforms to the setting of guiding humans in the dark:

There are two friends with Polaris, furry, simple and vivid expressions, which can be said to be much cute than Polaris itself:
Seeing this, you probably have started to want to own them. At present, the whole family is neatly bought together. The official website price is about 2,200 yuan, and the small earth purchase is about 150 yuan.
In fact, Kuangmao originally thought that such a toy might not be strange except for being a little cute. However, after seeing the photo of Xiao Biaoqiu and the Big Earth, he truly felt the shock brought by the power of technology. An ordinary toy produced on Earth is now able to look across the entire earth through the window by relying on human wisdom, which makes people look forward to exploring the universe and roaming the sea of stars. The most important thing is that Kuangmaru Zhenxin also envies Xiaobang's perspective.
(Little Earth and Earth Mother)
But what made Kuangmaru feel was that "Wandering Earth" was originally a scene in domestic film and television works. Even the Wandering Plush Earth toys were not played with by the Chinese people, but the small earth abroad went to heaven first.
But just when Kuang Wan turned into lemon essence, he actually found a sense of participation in the crack: that is, who would have thought that this small broken ball, is actually made by Chinese people.
