This Game Boy has Been to Space. For Real.

In 1993, Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr A. Serebrov blasted off for a trip to the Mir space station. Onboard his Soyuz rocket was this Game Boy, and it can now be yours. The handheld spent a whopping 196 days in space on the station, managing to orbit our blue ball of dirt over 3000 times. Joining it for the ride was, fittingly for a bunch of people who were still getting over the recent demise of the Soviet Union, a [[link]] copy of Tetris(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Accompanying the Game Boy and game in an auction being held by Bonhams is a note from Serebov, which reads “Like [[link]] all cosmonauts, I love sport. My particular favorites are football and swimming. During flight, in rare minutes of leisure, I enjoyed playing Game Boy.” The Game Boy will be part of a “Space History Sale” being held by [[link]] the auction house next month, and is expected to fetch between $1500-$2000.
