Brilliant stuff! I once considered doing something like that “animals in space” article for a space book I was writing (inspired by the tortoises round the moon story). Looking through the epic list, I’m glad I didn’t. That must have taken them ages.
Great selection as always. Love the wikitok shared with my 16yo who is currently reading me out what he’s finding! Only three photos of Stockholm metro though - their metro stations are incredible!
I can remember Philomena Cunk getting emotional about the poor animals sent to space 😢 https://youtu.be/AScMTzoDCrk?si=zhG7zLtsDAqALLHG
Butterflies and moths really are something aren't they - I had no idea about their scales. A joy, as ever, thank you
The WikiTok made me think of this webpage that turns Wikipedia edits into ambient music http://listen.hatnote.com/

The butterfly "scales" short films were mesmerizing. I'm going to watch them again as soon as my tea brews.
Can't access the timeline of every animal in space as it requires signing up but all the rest were interesting.
