註釋Humans were not the first beings to explore space. To test the safety of this strange and unknown environment, plants and animals were launched into orbit long before astronauts. One such animal that helped to pave the way for space exploration was a chimpanzee called Ham. Melinda Farbman and Frye Gaillard tell the remarkable story of Ham, who went from jungle chimp to space hero. They describe the intense training Ham received that prepared him for his flight in space. With details of Ham's flight and incredible color photographs, the authors show how Ham has gone down in history as the chimp who led the way for human space flight.
