Space pioneers
The road to space for humans was paved by animals. Long before the first lunar landing, dogs, chimps and monkeys flew beyond our atmosphere to test the influence of space on living organisms. And while most of them returned unharmed, some did not.
Here’s a look at some of the animals that paved the way for human space flight. (Text: Katherine Butler)

Any chance, then, that after all this time, you would at least consider correcting the headline ("8 animals that have traveled in space") to read: "8 animals WHO have traveled in space" ?
After all, they're no less important than us humans and, in fact, deserve even more compassionate recognition and respect because these particular animals were never in a position to VOLUNTEER to be experiments for us.
Thank you.
They should be nationally honored and never forgotten.
