Cosmonaut

A tribute to the true first astro/cosmonauts in the history of space exploration. The first space monkey was Alberto, a rhesus monkey who died of suffocation during his first flight in 1948, aboard a V2 rocket (thanks Hitler!). Here's a great website about monkeys and other animals that have gone to space to further our knowledge of space exploration.
