Mikey the space mouse

According to a recent conspiracy theory, a mouse is seen walking around in space on outside of the Falcon 9 rocket.

Some knuckleheads are saying this shows space shots aren’t true and are all done in a studio. Let me tell you something. This is NOT a conspiracy. It happened — it was my mouse! Mikey ran off my shoulder and jumped on the Falcon 9. He went into space! Just after this video he jumped off and splashed down in the Atlantic.

I’ve always had a tracker on him so I stole someone’s cigarette boat in Fort Lauderdale and sped out to get him. Dang if he wasn’t just floating on his back and smoking a cigarette. Cool as a cucumber, that’s my Mikey!
