Tethered quietly in the cabin, \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e, a round little plush with a smiling face and an Earth-print cap, waited. The moment gravity loosened its grip, \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e floated free, drifting weightlessly past the windows as the first signal to the world that the \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis 2 mission\u003c\/strong\u003e had truly left the ground. Within days, this small \u003cstrong\u003eNASA Artemis plush\u003c\/strong\u003e had become one of the most recognised space mascots in modern spaceflight history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThis fan art plush is a tribute to that moment. Crafted from soft cotton and plush materials to capture every iconic detail of \u003cstrong\u003eRise's\u003c\/strong\u003e design, it brings the spirit of the \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis 2 mission\u003c\/strong\u003e directly into your hands. Whether you watched the launch live, followed the ten-day \u003cstrong\u003elunar flyby mission\u003c\/strong\u003e from beginning to end, or simply love the story of a child's sketch becoming a real artefact of human exploration, this \u003cstrong\u003eRise Artemis plush\u003c\/strong\u003e is made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003c!-- ORIGIN STORY --\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eThe Story Behind the Rise Plush: From a Child's Sketch to the Moon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe origin of \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e begins more than a year before launch. In March 2025, NASA partnered with Freelancer to run a global \u003cstrong\u003eMoon Mascot Design Challenge\u003c\/strong\u003e for the \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis 2 mission\u003c\/strong\u003e. The brief was precise: design a \u003cstrong\u003ezero gravity indicator plush\u003c\/strong\u003e that could fit inside a six-inch cube, weigh no more than twelve ounces, and represent humanity, exploration, and the Artemis spirit. Over 2,600 entries arrived from more than 50 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eOne of those entries came from Lucas Ye, an eight-year-old from Mountain View, California. Lucas sketched his concept, built a prototype himself, and submitted a design centred on the iconic Earthrise photograph taken by Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders on December 24, 1968. The round white body represented the Moon. The navy cap printed with Earth's continents and scattered with yellow stars paid direct tribute to that photograph. The Orion constellation on the cap nodded to the spacecraft. A tiny footprint on the back honoured Neil Armstrong's first step in 1969. The galaxy-and-rocket brim encompassed every mission before and every mission still ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eWhen the \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis 2 crew\u003c\/strong\u003e narrowed 2,600 submissions to five finalists, \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e stood apart. Mission specialist Christina Koch introduced \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e at a ceremony at Kennedy Space Center on March 27, 2026: \"This little guy, Rise, really resonated with us, because the theme is actually the Earthrise photo taken on Apollo 8, which is inspirational to all of us. Welcome aboard, Rise.\" The original \u003cstrong\u003eRise plush toy\u003c\/strong\u003e was then fabricated by NASA's Thermal Blanket Lab at Goddard Space Flight Center, with technician Pamela Cain sewing it by hand and machine to meet every human spaceflight safety standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eTucked inside the original \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e, sealed on an SD card, were the names of over five million people from around the world who had submitted through NASA's Send Your Name with Artemis campaign. \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e did not just represent the crew of Wiseman, Glover, Koch, and Hansen. It represented all of us. This \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis II mascot plush\u003c\/strong\u003e is a tribute to that extraordinary story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003c!-- THE MISSION --\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eThe Mission Rise Flew: Artemis 2 Lunar Flyby 2026\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis 2 lunar flyby\u003c\/strong\u003e was humanity's first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in December 1972. Over ten days, the crew of the Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, travelled 694,481 miles total, passed within 4,067 miles of the lunar surface on April 6, and set a new record for the farthest distance humans have ever travelled from Earth at 252,756 miles. They witnessed an Earthrise from Orion's windows, saw the far side of the Moon with human eyes for the first time in 54 years, and conducted critical tests to prepare Orion's systems for future \u003cstrong\u003eNASA Moon mission\u003c\/strong\u003e landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThroughout the entire journey, the \u003cstrong\u003eRise zero gravity indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e floated freely through the cabin. Videos of \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e drifting past the crew's helmets circulated across social media millions of times. When Orion splashed down off the coast of San Diego on April 10, \u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e came home with the crew. It had been to the Moon and back. It had carried five million names with it. And it had made the world feel, for ten days, like everyone was part of something bigger than themselves. This \u003cstrong\u003espace plush collectible\u003c\/strong\u003e honours every moment of that journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003c!-- PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS --\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"product-highlights\"\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eFan art \u003cstrong\u003eRise Artemis plush\u003c\/strong\u003e inspired by NASA's Artemis 2 mission mascot\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eFaithfully captures all iconic design details: round \u003cstrong\u003eMoon plush body\u003c\/strong\u003e, Earth-print cap, galaxy-and-rocket brim, Orion constellation, and embroidered smiley face\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eMade from soft cotton and plush materials, huggable and display-ready\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 cm (approximately 8.7 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 cm (approximately 7 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 215 g (approximately 7.6 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003ePerfect \u003cstrong\u003eNASA space gift\u003c\/strong\u003e for space enthusiasts, Artemis followers, and collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eIdeal as an \u003cstrong\u003eArtemis 2 collectible\u003c\/strong\u003e or desk display alongside space memorabilia\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eMade to order: produced within 7 to 14 business days before shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eShips to over 70 countries worldwide, free shipping to 50 or more destinations\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cli\u003eSold individually.
