Samantha Cristoforetti’s second space flight began with the launch of SpaceX‘s Crew-4 mission. After landing on the ISS, she recorded her first TikTok video, in which she takes the viewers through Crew-4’s launch. The video introduces the viewers to the mission’s two zero-g indicators and a toy monkey named Etta. She shared the space station view and said that the first few days of SpaceX’s Crew-4 mission have been hectic.
The astronaut is further seen explaining the meaning of the word Etta. It is short for scimmietta, which means a little monkey.
