First cat in space

Went to Douglas Adams's virtual 60th birthday party last night - also a fundraiser for Save the Rhino


One of the speakers was a space scientist, Helen Keen, who, in addition to presenting space programmes on TV, also has an extensive collection of space stamps from around the world - one of her favourites was the series commemorating the first cat in space called Felicette - launched by the French.




See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_space for lots more useless facts on animals in space.
