Somewhere between ancient forests and the vacuum of space, a familiar legend quietly crossed a new boundary.
When Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency prepared for the Artemis II mission - a journey that carried humans around the Moon - he didn’t just bring science with him. He brought a story.
At the center of his mission patch, designed by Anishinaabe artist Henry Guimond, are the Seven Sacred Laws - teachings carried through generations. Each animal represents a human truth: respect, love, courage, wisdom, humility, truth…
And one stands apart. Sasquatch.
Not as a creature lurking in the woods, but as Sabe - a figure of honesty. A reminder to walk through the world with integrity, even when no one is watching.
It’s a strange kind of symmetry. For decades, Sasquatch has lived at the edge of belief - half myth, half possibility. His existence is one that people argue over, search for, dismiss, and defend. His presence is based on heresy. He lives in the Upside Down, just outside of what's known to be real.
Now he's ridden alongside humanity as we pushed into another unknown.
Space is our newest wilderness. It's full of questions we don’t yet have the language to ask. Because of that, Sasquatch fits there so well.
It's a quiet acknowledgment that even as we leave Earth, we carry our oldest ideas with us - the stories that taught us who we are long before rockets ever left the ground.
On a mission defined by propulsion, mathmatic precision and engineering, there’s something comforting about knowing that the symbolic presence of Bigfoot, a legend lifted out of the forest, has voyaged to the Moon.
