It pays to know people in high places. VERY high places.
The godmother of British astronaut Tim Peake is a member of the Rotary Club of Locks Heath, England, and prevailed on him to take the club banner along on his assignment to the International Space Station (ISS).
Peake agreed to fly the flag, so to speak, inside the ISS after making it part of the very small number of personal items astronauts are permitted to carry with them.
