99 ORIGINALS AND A VINE AIN’T ONE
Forget fifteen minutes of fame, for Logan Paul it only took six seconds. The former Vine star, now a YouTuber, boxer, and podcaster extraordinaire, is no stranger to a publicity stunt. When he launched his sports energy drink, ‘PRIME’, earlier in the year, the Youtuber explored quite a range of promotional strategies - filming a monkey appearing to steal the drink, pretending to be a castaway in need of quenching their thirst (replete with Momoa-esque facial hair), even catap

Buck Moon 2022 | The biggest full moon of the year
It’s only two weeks into July 2022 and already significant progress has been made in the world of aerospace.

Champion of Champions | Sending Greg Davies’ head into space for Taskmaster
Not his actual head... he is still very much alive. Up until now, the team at Sent into Space have been set with the task of keeping schtum about a Taskmaster-themed launch. With the Champion of Champions episode of the BAFTA award-winning show, Taskmaster, airing last week on Channel 4, we thought we’d share the details of the host’s vicarious trip to the stars. But first, a little info about the show. What is Taskmaster? If you have been living under a rock or are a rare br

What Does Space Smell Like? | Cosmic Smells
The way space affects the range of human senses is pretty widely known - our eyes bear witness to a sea of endless black, peppered with specks of glittering stars, our ears become heavy with a silence that never ceases, our limbs, made buoyant with weightlessness that is hard to orientate; but what does the human nose identify in space? With the clouds of Earth flitting below as a distant memory, and the galaxies beyond spinning like great, whirlpools above, the heady aroma o

Taking Bublé Higher (and winning a Grammy)
The contemporary king of the crooners, Michael Bublé, premiers his new album’s title track, Higher , in a rather unusual domain… space. In a literal realisation of the new LP’s title, Bublé teamed up with Sent Into Space to promote his new music video in truly out-of-this-world fashion. How did ‘Higher’ play among the stars? In order to send the album into space, our engineers designed and built a bespoke, Bublé-branded spacecraft from carbon fibre and cutting-edge 3D printed

Sherpa goes to Space
They say that dogs are man’s best friend, and what could be a greater present than a trip to the stars? Following in Sherpa’s footsteps (the famous canine YouTuber that is), we helped her fluffy counterpart—the limited edition Space Sherpa Plush —find their way into the cosmos. On a cool morning in Spring, Derbyshire, we launched the fluffy toy up into the stars. Here is the story of Sherpa’s journey.

James Webb Space Telescope | About the JWST
On December the 25th 2021, NASA launched the world’s largest observatory to date: the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Despite the tennis court-sized craft's 344 single points of failure (SPOFs), a fault at any one of which would cause total failure, the deployment of the telescope was successful. It has now reached its home at L2 — a gravitationally stable spot known as a Lagrange point, over 1 million miles away from Earth. Inspired by an iconic image of distant galaxies
