oh yeah, and my grandpa jumped off a springboard into space, bounced off the moon and kicked your grand's ass so hard that he was sent through the earth's core and came flying out from the other side like a flying money and ended up in space... beat that bitch.

I always wondered why we used monkeys as test 'pilots' for everything early on, but didn't send one to the moon.

The thought of Neil and Buzz getting out of the lander and finding a dead face-down monkey in a spacesuit amuses me.

meh, not all that impressive considering Copenhagen suborbitals have been making some serious headway in their quest for a manned sub-orbital spaceflight and they're quite literally just a couple of guys in a shed.

Why not start by sending Iranians into space and then work your way up the evolutionary ladder until you get to monkeys?

Calling Achmidenajahfhasshdhsjs (sorry I'm not googling that douche's name right now) a monkey: okay. Call all people in 'his' country monkeys: not cool.
