WASA



 Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 3696 WASA is the  WORM  Air & Space Agency, the  WORM  equivalent of NASA , located at 25 Wiggle Way Station in the Cape Canaveral  MUD  Flats.

In a 1998 SESAME STREET episode, the agency recruits Slimey  for a mission to the moon. Staffed by a training officer & several highly trained worm  technicians, they oversee the testing of a team of brave astronauts.

The roster includes Spaghettini from Italy, Squishta from Romania , Legusano from Colombia , Squashimi from Japan , Slogoshki from Poland , other worms  from Puerto Rico & Zambia , & Selma Worm , who is actually a chicken dressed as a  worm.

Five worms  are ultimately chosen as the crew of the Wiggleprise. Their mission is administered from a control center based on Sesame Street, led by Professor Albert Einslime. It is this same crew of worms  that can be seen in the recurring  Worms in Space  sketches.

Einslime & WASA returned to Sesame Street in 2007 to launch  Slimey  ' s girlfriend  Glo Worm  into space. As before, worm  technology couldn ' t sufficiently launch the rocket with out some help from a Muppet ; i n this case the number 0 , who saved the day by standing in for the final number of the count down.
