Provided you make said purchase during the fest, that is.

There's also a handful of featured items you can claim, ideal for showcasing your love of space.

An animated avatar, frame, and sticker are all free of charge via The Points Shop.

Like we said, it’s a modest selection, but one that’s sure to put a smile on your face whenever you think back on your days as a digital astronaut.

You have approximately 24 hours left to grab these freebies before they’re gone – don't be the lonely astronaut who missed out on a smorgasbord of free downloads.
