His name was Ham, the first chimpanzee in space and a critical part of the early 1960s American space program. He did survive space travel and this was very important as earlier dogs, especially Laika the Russian dog, did not survive and this horrified animal activists and others around the world. I used a portion of this film in my four-part Turner Broadcasting television series on the Apollo race to the moon, titled Moonshot. #nasahistory #hamthe chimp
