Today’s announcement is out of this world – literally. Atlassian is sending one of our own into space. This unprecedented move will pressure take remote work where no one only a handful of people have gone before.
Think you have what it takes to join the ultimate distributed team? Take this quiz to see if you qualify for future Atlassian Space Services (ASS) missions.
Happy with your results? This challenge is for you. Post the top five items on your space-station packing list in the comments below. Who knows, we might just name a star after the poster with the most upvotes!
For more details about how to get more involved in ASS, be sure to visit our very official site.

A cat (assuming we can establish they're ok with the trip up and/or back, can adapt and they don't mind being called an "item")
A decent computer of some sort for non-work stuff, so one for a bit of gaming, tech tinkering, music, video, photos and so-on ( I'm assuming the ones on the space station should be restricted to work purposes).
My oldest Atlassian t-shirt, for a bit of nostalgia (and it's good to relax in)
The cuddly penguin I've had since I was about 2. (2 hours old, not years)
A very large amount of chilli (preserved peppers, sauce, don't mind - just something with a bite that can be added to space-food for flavour)

@Prince Nyeche - I think a lot of us are trying to play this one a bit! For example, I said "a computer for non work stuff" - that could be anything from a small smartphone through to a serious gaming machine.
I think you have another space, as "a phone" and "a laptop" are both "a computer for non-work stuff". Is there another thing you would add to the list?
(Loving the idea of the socks, yes, it's allegedly cold, the socks would be a win. But maybe not as getting rid of heat is a massive problem for everything we've thrown into space)

Haha...I like to travel light. So the lighter the load the better. Hmm come to think of it, it wouldn't be bad to carry some tea bags. I always thought how cool is it to sip a cup of tea in space 😆

1. Sunscreen - I suspect I'm gonna need it as I burn easily and it might be like "Walking on the Sun "
2. Sunglasses - gotta look cool for the trip! Probably need "a wear and a spare" of Cheap Sunglasses
3. Confluence Hawaiian shirt - double duty, stylish, comfy, and reminds me to document my experience. I've been told "it's the bomb" - maybe like a B-52
Thanks Communiteam for putting this fun together (on top of the effort by Atlassians who created the microsite, play list, quiz, etc.) - love you all!!!
