Take A Look In The Past With These Old Pictures

Meet The Astrochimp

The first American astronaut to survive under the name of Ham. He was sent to space and returned home successfully. He was able to beat Yuri Gagarin 12 days later and Alan Shepard almost two months later. He was not, however, the first animal to go to space! That honor goes to Laika for the second Sputnik.
