Which was in your opinion the very first cartoon in space and which others made it up there? I know of: - Snoopy characters onboard Apollo 10
- Doonesbury onboard shuttle 51-D

Well, Snoopy has flown on many more missions than just Apollo 10 -- the Silver Snoopy award has been on all flights since Apollo 7. |

What about Woody the Woodpecker, ha ha ha ha ha... actually, he was just in the NASA movies. What about the Roadrunner and the Coyote? |

Though it's not an animated cartoon, an Elfquest elf was aboard STS-87. |

Well, he wasn't the first, but I feel I have to mention Casper (as in "Casper the ghost" for the Command Module now at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama) on Apollo 16. I understand there were Casper items on board. |

Well as I recall one of the rocks studied by the first rover on Mars was, "Scooby Doo." |
