Story
Ham was trained to pull levers in response to signals and then flew aboard Mercury-Redstone 2 in 1961.
The mission helped test task performance during spaceflight, while also raising the ethical weight of animal experimentation.
Ham is archived because the story preserves both a spaceflight milestone and the life of the animal who carried that risk.
