Astronauts fly Albert Einstein doll to demo physicist's 'happiest thought'

Albert Einstein's "happiest thought" has been proven again by four international astronauts and a small doll made in his likeness.

Upon entering Earth orbit on Wednesday (Oct. 5), the crew members on board SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft "Endurance" revealed their chosen "zero-g indicator," a plush toy of the late theoretical physicist. Floating at the end of a tether, the doll not only confirmed that the Crew-5 astronauts were safely on their way to the International Space Station, but that one of Einstein's ponderings was indeed true.

Crew-5 cosmonaut Anna Kikina had a personal doll aboard Dragon Endurance. The hand-made toy of a young boy with orange hair named "Gorodovichok" was flown as a symbol of her Siberian hometown Novosibirsk.

Zero-g Einstein has arrived at the Karst-onian.

The shelf is getting relativity crowded.

As they prepare to return to Earth, the members of Crew-5 posed with their zero-g indicator for a couple of photos on the International Space Station:
