@Random Monkey fact of the week:

The rhesus macaque was the first monkey to be in space.

The monkey, Albert, tested the effects of space travel on a body. Albert survived the experiment, yet passed away during the rocket’s parachute failure.

@Random Monkey fact of the week:

The rhesus macaque was the first monkey to be in space.

The monkey, Albert, tested the effects of space travel on a body. Albert survived the experiment, yet passed away during the rocket’s parachute failure.

The first primates in space actually preceded Ham by many years:

• June 11, 1948: A U.S. military V-2 rocket launched from White Sands, New Mexico carrying Albert I, a rhesus monkey, into space. Lack of fanfare and documentation made Albert an unsung hero of animal astronauts, according to NASA. Albert suffocated and died during the flight.
• June 14, 1949: A second V-2 carried a monkey, Albert II, to altitude of 83 miles in space. When the rocket returned, the monkey died on impact.
