Guess who's going to Mars!
America sent monkeys into space before men. But Apollo sent men, not monkeys, to the moon.
According to a report late last year, Russia plans to send a monkey on a 520 day round trip flight to Mars. The Russians believe that the radiation would make such a trip by a human currently inadvisable.
The monkey would be fed and cared for by a robot. This could be problematic.
During a 1987 space mission a monkey named Yerosha damaged its “caretaker” robot.
