Omnia: Ham the Astrochimp

(AI) "Ham the Astrochimp" was a real-life chimpanzee who became the first hominid in space in 1961. As part of NASA's Mercury program, Ham's mission, known as MR-2, aimed to test the effects of space travel on a living organism. Ham successfully completed his mission, demonstrating that living beings could perform tasks in space. This contributed valuable data for human spaceflight endeavors that followed.
