For this week's #MuppetsMoment, I am definitely here for a Pulsar Animal, even if I'd love for Cookie Monster to eat the moon :)

What about you? If a Muppet was going to be a space phenomenon (or a space phenomenon a Muppet), which one would they be?
nerdsatchurch.bsky.social Nerds At Church Podcast @nerdsatchurch.bsky.social · Feb 18
This week's #MuppetsMoment, we're wondering: If a Muppet was going to be a space phenomenon, which one would they be?
