A Geocaching Travel Bug is hitching a ride with astronaut Rick Mastracchio straight to the International Space Station. The mission is currently scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan at 4:08 GMT on November 7, which is November 6 at 11:08 p.m. in Berks County.
Although there is one lucky Travel Bug heading for outer space, there are still plenty of Earth bound ones that would like to travel around the globe! In honor of the Travel Bug Space Launch, Let's help them out!
