Iran 'successfully sends monkey into space'
2013-01-28
Iran says it has successfully sent a monkey into space.
No, not Short Round, though it is a pleasant thought to consider...
The primate travelled in a Pishgam rocket, which reached an altitude of some 120km (75 miles) for a sub-orbital flight before "returning its shipment intact", the defence ministry said.

Iranian state TV showed images of the monkey, which was strapped into a harness, being taken to the rocket.
