The bizarre story of how a gorilla suit was smuggled onto the ISS

I have only recently become fascinated with everything space and astronautics, because I interviewed German astronaut Matthias Maurer on the ISS. Unfortunately, it was only after our conversation that I found this video of one of the greatest pranks ever. I like how this short and presumably clickbaity article not only gives the story behind it, but also a more serious part about the research conducted on the Space Station.
