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.

History’s Worst Execution Methods: Flaying Flaying — better known as “skinning alive” — has a long and grotesque history. Records of the practice exist as far back as the Neo-Assyrian Empire (beginning in 911 B.C.), but it has cropped up in most civilizations at one time or another, including Medieval Europe (where it tended to be used as a punishment for traitors) and in the ritual human sacrifices made by the Aztecs in Mexico (the Aztecs, at least, are believed to have skinned the body after the sacrifice had been made). Various techniques have been utilized in the many different cultures in which flaying has been employed, but the basis remains the same: Slowly, excruciatingly slicing the skin from the body while keeping the victim alive for as long as possible (and when feasible, removing the skin intact). Rendering Of Flaying Wikimedia Commons Carvings from the Assyrian period show the process beginning with incisions to the thighs or buttocks, while the European method — pictured...
