Ham El Astronaut
One day like today but from 1961 when he had not yet reached the age of four, the chimpancé known as No.65 became the first protagonist of the Mercury Project when he was launched on his first mission on a suborbital flight. The objective of Mercury was to put the first human being in Earth orbit. During the training, the primate was taught that when a blue light came on she should perform a lever. If he failed, an electric shock was applied to him at the soles of his feet, while if he did it correctly he received a piece of banana.
On 31 January 1961, it was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and made an approximately 16-minute flight, returning safely to Earth.
In the image you can be seen moments before carrying out the mission. Upon his return, he was re-baptized as Ham, which, according to reports, had not been done before for fear that the mission would fail and the public impact on the death of a chimpancé identified with a name would be greater.
The launch of the first spring into space was very close in time to also controversial launches of astronauts in the USSR, such as Laika or Belka and Strelka, among others. After his space adventure he was transferred to a zoo, where he died at the age of 25.

Florida's Messiest Execution On July 8, 1999, the execution of Allen Lee Davis set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. During his time in the electric chair, Davis bled profusely from the nose and suffered burns to his head, leg, and groin area. As the switch was thrown, the “Tiny” Davis, who was executed for the May 11, 1982, murder of Nancy Weiler and her two daughters, reared back against the restraints, giving witnesses a chilling glimpse under a black hood designed to hide the faces of the condemned. Blood poured from his vivid purple nose, ran down the wide leather strap that covered his mouth and soaked the white shirt. After the power was turned off, Davis was still alive. Witnesses said his chest rose and fell about 10 times before he went still. After the execution, state prison officials and Governor Jeb Bush said the Old Sparky functioned properly. Three photos of the incident have been published on Florida’s High Court official website in an attempt to argu...
