Monkey and Mice in Pioneer Space Flight, 1952

In a preview to human space flights, Air Force scientists launch Albert the Monkey and two white mice into upper pace on a 2,000 m.p.h rocket ride, an historic first.

Films show the space travellers under zero gravity in this test of reaction to space flight, and their safe return to earth.
