The Conquest of Space
The Conquest of Space
Fruit flies, frogs and dogs are only a few of the many animals man has sent into space. The film is about the chimpanzee, Ham, that was sent to space some months before Gagarin became the first man in space. Based on archival footage from NASA and National Archives, this is a tragi-comical look at the space program and the animals that went into space before humankind.
