As some of you may have seen on social media already, the first ever content made specifically for Wikipedia, in space, was uploaded to Commons today, and is now in use on Wikipedia articles.
ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli made recordings of his speaking voice in English and his native Italian, as part of the 'Voice Intro Project'.
I wrote a blog post about how this came to happen, for the WMF blog:

Glad to see that the final frontier is falling to Wikipedia! Lovely blog post Andy.
This reminds me that (entirely separately) there was an initiative to send copies of Wikipedia into space, does anyone know if that every happened?
