Friday 4 December 2015 13:56, UK
The first British astronaut to join the European Space Agency is taking a Stoke City flag into orbit for some fans of the club.
Tim Peake has agreed to tweet a picture of it after he docks at the International Space Station following 18 months of lobbying from supporters.
The 43-year-old will also attempt to become the first person to run a marathon in space during his 173-day mission.
Mr Peake will try to run a digital version of next year's London Marathon on a treadmill at the same time as more than 37,000 people take part in the event for real on April 24.
Hit play on the video above to hear from fan Andy Rushton about the Stoke flag that's heading to space!
