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 without some help from a Muppet; in this case the number 0, who saved the day by standing in for the final number of the count down.
