Biosatellite carrying Bonnie the pig-tailed monkey
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...hips/?pid=2559
It says: "NASA's Biosatellite program sent three capsules into orbit with various plants and organisms to study the effects of space on living things. This model from around 1968 is of the third launch, which put a pig-tailed monkey named Bonnie into orbit. The model monkey in the image above looks a lot happier than Bonnie probably was -- the month-long mission was shortened to nine days when Bonnie's health started to suffer." Did this really happen? Sounds like something that would have been discussed in the 50s, but not as late as 1968. |
