10 strange things NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft took to the moon

In what has been dubbed a "giant leap for lambkind", Shaun the Sheep is flying well beyond the borders of Shropshire for his eponymous kids' show in the United Kingdom. Shaun's journey was documented in a series of European Space Agency (ESA) blog posts, including one that showed the ovine "training" on a parabolic aircraft.

Shaun, sporting an ESA flight suit, made it to space for the 15th anniversary of his first television series in 2007, although his first appearance overall was in 1995 in the short film "A Close Shave." The TV series has been seen in 180 countries. Shaun also stars in two feature-length films, the latest in 2019 featuring a visitor from outer space in "A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon."
