In April 2019, an etched copy of Wikipedia is now on the Moon after surviving a crash landing of Beresheet, a failed Israeli lunar lander, according to experts.[70][71]
In June 2019, scientists reported that all 16 GB of Wikipedia have been encoded into synthetic DNA.[72]
On November 17, 2019, Christina Koch made the first confirmed edit to Wikipedia from space while aboard the International Space Station.[73]
That's actually a bit sad, like a nerd trying to gain the approval of other (more famous) nerds. Which is dead-typical classic Wikipedia.

As I stated in twitter, with all the bans, blocks; ip and range blocks; proxy and school blocks, etc. Space is about the only place you can still edit...well and not be assumed to be a sock of some previously banned editor at least
