Astronaut Ellison Onizuka brought along a soccer ball from his daughters high school team. When it was recovered intact, it was returned to daughter Janelle Onizuka, who put it on display at the school.

Three decades later, Shane Kimbrough, who’s daughter attended the same school, asked if he could take it into space. In February of 2017, he tweeted out a photo of the ball floating in zero gravity.
