Turns out he was a professor at our beloved KSU for many years. He was very cool to talk to, funny sense of humor and had a interesting story or two to tell.

Yep the space monkeys were trained in some part of Seaton. I had never heard ths until just the other day. They also have done testing/development for some other very important things at KSU where they trained the monkeys.

funny sense of humor

lollers.  No $hit?  I mean, he blasted a monkey into outer space!


Guess we can go ahead and add him to the list of famous peeps from K-State.  Should never be mentioned before Kirsty Allie though.

Also should never mention his name since nobody has ever heard of him.  Just listed as, "d00d who blasted the first monkey into space"

Lots of the lefties that post here are living proof that they're still training chimps at KSU.   :blank:

For God's sake, people, are you all from ku?

They are not monkeys!  Monkeys have tails.  Chimps do not.  Chimps are primates, one of the great apes.

The difference between a monkey and a chimp is the difference between a rat and a wolverine.  You could pimp-slap a monkey with a wet newspaper.  An adult male chimp, however, CAN KILL YOUR ASS!

Enough with the monkey crap!

You might want to warn the doc about this before he's surprised by it biting his finger.
