'It's bananas': Toy fruit becomes first zero-g indicator to fly on SpaceX Starship

An artificial banana floated peacefully in the microgravity environment of outer space on Tuesday (Nov. 19). No longer needing its attached tethers, it just hung there, suspended in the bay of its steel spacecraft's otherwise empty cargo hold.

The fake-but-full-size fruit made history as the first zero-gravity indicator to fly on a SpaceX Starship.
