I think that ignoring Ham is one of the biggest errors in writing of modern history. Recognising Ham's merit as a first in space would also be a giant leap for mankind, because it would help on recognising partial human rights for great apes. ―Jouni http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham_the_Chimp

Actually our common 'monkey' ancestors were test piloting rockets first. They were millions of years ahead of us. I guess the 'old saying that it's so easy a human can do it was true after all.

Re: [Vo]:First Manned Rocket
since this story mentions the hollow earth theory, I would like to say that I think the theory is a unconscious comment on galilean relativity (the central myth of modern physics) where the relativity motion is based on observations made inside windowless room.
