life:
On the morning of January 31, 1961, a 5-year-old chimpanzee named Ham ate a breakfast of baby cereal, condensed milk, vitamins, and half an egg, then the playful 37-pound primate went out into the Cape Canaveral light and made aeronautic history. Aboard a NASA space capsule, traveling almost 160 miles above the Earth, Ham became the first chimp in space.
