Space Monkeys!
Remembering the Nonhuman Astronauts in US Space Exploration
University of Alabama Press
In the Space Race, the United States and Soviet Union faced biological and technical challenges in ensuring human safety in spaceflight. To address these, scientists on both sides used animals as test subjects. Space Monkeys!: Remembering the Non-Human Astronauts in US Space Exploration explores the public memory of four US space monkeys—Able, Baker, Ham, and Enos.
