This week, from 4th to the 10th of October, is the internationally recognised, and UN declared, "World Space Week".
It recognises that:
- On October 4th, 1957 the first human-made Earth satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched.
- and on October 10th, 1967 the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activites of States in the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, was signed.
There have been many, many Disney movies and TV shows over the years that have included elements of space exploration, and of course it was Walt Disney himself that brought us the idea of a better, more promising future. First, through his vision of Tomorrowland at Disneyland, with all it's gadgets and technology, and then through his vision for EPCOT.
To celebrate World Space Week, and being Character Central, some of our favourite interstellar Disney Character stars have come down to Earth to visit!
Happy World Space Week, everyone!
