Did they bring the monkey back down safely (I hope) or fry him on re-entry?

Yow....at the "Hello," I thought it was Spike for a moment. There we go, call the monkey Spike.

When I first heard that Iran was sending a primate into space I right off thought that it would be an irangutan

Maybe they ate it after. Is monkey halal?

Maybe FMU could send Andy Breckman into a short orbit. Think about the ratings, SM Ken!

Today: monkeys
Tomorrow: monkeys with explosives
Avatar Tue. 1/29/13 6:19pm G:

Space travel is becoming a private sector thing in economically advanced countries. It's the second and third tier countries where the govts use space shots to "prove" something now. I'm sure FMU could get a private sector space shot happening for only maybe an entire decade of their total budget

You're all being silly. This is a purely scientific civilian research mission in which a non-military booster carries aloft the innocent intrepid pioneer monkey named "T-43 multiple impact warhead." Stop making such a fuss.

Hey, Chris- anybody knows why you don't wanna name a domestic animal. Its usually because it makes them hard to eat later. So may I offer the name this monkey might have
gotten had he not been gobbled up already- "delicious." Someone in Iran was planning to eat him all along.
