It is unfair, really, how easy fictional characters have it. A recent video of Pikachu on the International Space Station highlights this even more. In a video shared by the European Space Agency, you can see the character plushie floating around in the ISS, and going through everything with astronaut Sophie Adenot. 

Pikachu visits the recycled drinking water dispenser, where Adenot explains, “We recycle 98 per cent of our water. That’s pretty amazing. Even the urine is recycled.” He stops by the heavy-duty freezers used for experiment sample preservation, floats into the crew quarters, and has a jolly time out of it.
