@MrStabbytheghost No he wasn't. After the flight, Ham lived for 17 years in the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., then at the North Carolina Zoo before his death at the age of 26 on January 19, 1983.
The government didn't want to follow a monkey into space. So they thought of Evel Knievel. Then they didn't want the populace to get first dibs so they switched to the military. And monkeys are still telling the tale of zero gravity. That is why orangutans hold their arms above their heads. To imitate how it feels in zero gravity. The chimps take it as a direspect and have a small grievance with the orangutans. And giraffes say you mean you were this high. And then they laugh.
we dont put more into war than space travel, nasa is the military. And space travel is inevitably an act of war, trespassing. We will colonise like we do through war on thsi planet, we will survey and extract whatever we like in the name of space travel. Wide eyed propagandists who want to live forever or travel to other planets in rocketships are snubbing those of us who actually enjoy being a land dwelling mortal mammal on planet earth. Society spits in my face for daring to smile.
Actually Vostok 1 mission was far too brilliant to be compared to Mercury. It carried 4.7 tonnes into orbit, while Mercury was 1.3 tonne and did not enter orbit.
its sad that we focus more on war than space exploration or science for that matter. can you imagine if we put all of the resources we use for preemptive war to space exploration? we would be populating Mars in no time. oh well looks like we'll blow each other up before that.
I'm a realist so I def understand that point. But either way if we don't stop focusing on war (not stop completely just refocus) and neglect science then will never progress as a species. However, like I said, I'm a realist and it's in our nature to self-destruct so I'm sure thats what will happen. I just like to dream from time to time :)
Its actually in our nature to understand and have control of our destruction. War is not just a means of obtaining resources for our group within this species - its practice. I liked your comment until its cynicism became apparent.
cynical of war? damn right i am just like many of the people who fought in them. if you mean cynical as in my lack of faith in humanity? well that was just sarcasm.
Is Bo Med a new kind of healthcare? And we aren't able to get it because Canada and other countries have it? That sucks. Thanks for making sense of this governmental scandal.
It's like:" Alright Alan, May 2nd." "Uh sir, the ruskies were already up there 2 1/2 weeks ago...", "Well that gives us still time to watch the game, grab a beer Alan!"

as alby said im kinda disapointed on americans fighting for oil when we could unite to live longer not lesser all ur doing is
1.causing all of the middle east to die
2.making our ozone thicker by burning this shit
3.building machines that could destroy man kind when we cold be searching for new places to live instead of blowing it up
