The True Story
Before Doge. Before Pepe. Before any meme flew to the moon...
There was Ham.
On January 31, 1961, a 3-year-old chimp named Ham was launched into space. Everything went wrong - but Ham kept pushing buttons at 14.7 Gs while his capsule lost pressure.
His 16-minute flight proved humans could survive in space. 109 days later, Alan Shepard followed the exact same route Ham made safe.
Ham didn't go to the moon. But he's the reason we did.

Historic Moments
The images that captured a moment in history.
Ham's Launch Day
At 4:55 PM, a 3-year-old chimpanzee named Ham was strapped into Mercury capsule #5. Trained for 219 hours, Ham would become humanity's first ambassador to space. What should have been a routine 12-minute flight was about to become a life-or-death struggle that would determine if humans could survive the void of space.
Suited for the Impossible
Ham's custom space suit and helmet represented cutting-edge 1961 technology. Every strap, every wire, every connection had to be perfect. NASA engineers knew they were sending a living being where no creature had gone before. Ham's calm demeanor during suiting up showed the intelligence and training that made him the perfect candidate for this historic mission.
Riding the Thunder
The Redstone rocket roared to life, pushing Ham at incredible speeds toward the edge of space. At 5,857 mph and 157 miles high, Ham experienced weightlessness while his capsule systems began failing. Cabin pressure dropped. The flight went 60 miles longer than planned. But Ham kept performing his tasks at 14.7 Gs - proving space travel was survivable.
The World Takes Notice
When Ham returned safely, the world erupted in celebration. The San Francisco Examiner's headline 'SPACE CHIMP LIVES' captured the moment that changed everything. Ham's success proved that space travel was no longer science fiction - it was reality. This newspaper became a symbol of humanity's first step toward the stars, paving the way for Alan Shepard just 109 days later.
