Russian Mars Monkeys?

I kid you not; a plan to send monkeys on a one-way trip to Mars:

(It's my "Paula Abdul On Mars" movie concept with "FU Gimp Chimp" moving
a little closer to reality.)
And what of "old man Krosh", who is still in "Rude Health", as the
female monkeys he mounts can assure you?
What part will this simian superman play in these plans?

Will they follow it up with a similar mission for spammers?

Are these are the same people who tried to generate human-ape hybrids...?

Stalin's space monkeys

It looks like a neglected zoo. But the Institute of Experimental Pathology
and Therapy has its own macabre chapter in the history of the Soviet
Union.
Shaun Walker reports from Sukhumi, Abkhazia
From the old railway station, now a hollow shell covered in weeds, a long
concrete stairway, sheltered by sub-tropical foliage, winds from the
centre of Sukhumi up to a collection of buildings, many pocked with bullet
holes or crushed by bombs.
The first thing that registers is the putrid smell of animal faeces, then
from inside one building comes a primeval squawking that sounds like a
child being tortured. Cage after cage of distraught-looking monkeys come
into view, nearly 300 in all, gnawing at mandarins and scampering around
their enclosures.
This is what remains of the Institute of Experimental Pathology and
Therapy, the first primate testing centre in the world, and possibly the
site of a macabre Stalinist experiment to breed a human-ape hybrid. Set
amid palm trees and lush greenery on a hill just outside the centre of
Sukhumi, it was once the envy of the West. Its behavioural and medical
experiments set it at the forefront of groundbreaking medical discoveries,
and trained monkeys for space travel.

I saw a program on that on either the History Channel or The Discovery
Channel.
The scenes of the uniformed ape-human hybrids marching through Red
Square were worthy of a "Captain America" comic book adventure. :-D
