Mouse on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket or frozen oxygen? Netizens react to strange video

SpaceX has become the first private organisation to send a spacecraft to space. Two US astronauts, Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, created history by blasting off into space with the NASA-SpaceX Crew Dragon launch on May 30, but they are not alone in the vast space. According to reports, a mighty mouse was seen on the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule's fuselage. A video has surfaced on the internet and has everyone shocked.

Is there a mouse on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket?

Millions of people across the world were glued to the live stream of the ‘spectacular’ launch of US astronauts from American soil for the first time in nine years. It was a proud moment for Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, which is now the first private company to send a craft to space. While the world was watching America create history, the mouse was seen walking on the carrier. One of the internet users posted the short clip showing the small animal running and walking around the fuselage.

While sharing the clip the user said: "Looks like a MOUSE hitchhiked a ride on Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocket launch today!"  The Twitter user also said that "the mouse showed a truly amazing ability to withstand heat!" Many people who saw the 'mouse' walking on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket find it unbelievable, as per many reactions on social media. While some find it funny and say that it is the "Frozen oxygen," others are pointing it out to be fake. It is hard to say anything about it as NASA and SpaceX both haven't reacted on the same. However, users find it unbelievable as the mouse is seen walking around freely despite the heat and the laws of gravity.
