SHAUN THE SHEEP SET FOR SPACE

He’s the main character of the popular Shaun the Sheep TV shows and films – and now he’s going from the screen to the moon.

The European Space Agency has invited the lamb doll to board the Artemis I mission to the moon. When the spacecraft takes off in the next few weeks, Shaun will travel almost 500 000 kilometres from Earth. It’s a “giant leap for lambkind,” Nasa says.
