Are you asking quizzers to differentiate between the only two space stations currently active, or are you asking quizzers to identify that the second largest orbiting object is a space station rather than a satellite or an asteroid or some other space object? Surely the point is to identify that it's a space station, not whether it is US or Chinese.
For the same reason that this quiz accepts "Hulk" for "The Incredible Hulk." Jetpunk convention is that short form answers that correctly identify the essence of the answer are counted. This avoids "syntax questing" and allows players to identify when they have a wrong answer so that they can move on or try alternatives. When "Space Station" was not counted, I assumed the answer was wrong and did not try variants -- because that's how the site usually works. This should be consistent across all questions.
The Earth doesn't have too many large bodies orbiting it, surprisingly. You'd think that there was some big asteroid or something but the question still appears to be accurate. The debate between continent and island is still ambiguous and completely arbitrary, Jetpunk has established a policy considering Australia to be a continental landmass rather than an island.
Isn't the largest species of animals to ever live some kind of dinosaur? For example the barosaurus lentus (the largest one I could find), is on average 45-48m in body lenght, while the blue whale is only ~24m. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_and_heaviest_animals
If you go by weight, there is also a heavier dinosaur species (Bruhathkayosaurus matleyi), and I don't know what else to measure "largest species of animal that has ever lived" in, other than lenght/size or weight, both of which the blue whale isn't the biggest in.
If you go by "largest living species of animal", blue whale of course would be correct, but not if the question is phrased like this.

coincidence? I think not. [👁️⃤ ]

A sauropod of similar length would be much, much lighter than a blue whale. It's mostly neck and tail.
But the weights and lengths of the largest sauropods are extremely speculative anyway, often based on just a few small bones.
It was the only L creature I could think of fast enough so tried it anyway.
