Camilla in Ripley's Annual!!!

Camilla the rubber chicken, who has flown 5 times to the edge of space and was due to join the crew on the IIS next year (but she got sequestered) has been included in the Ripley's Believe it or Not Annual.
Camilla was the mascot for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and is still an outstanding spokeschicken for all things Space, Astronomy and Science.
Some of you may remember that she and her person/handler Romeo Durscher joined us for our Solar Eclipse After Party at Palm Cove, Cairns, where we all got a chance to have our photo taken with her.
I thought I'd share some of the photo's taken that day as well.

I think I was the first to smooch the feathered friend. Just need to lose another 91 kilos and might get a trip into space.
