“we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”
But really I was just pretending to misunderstand the early test flights as a progression of sending larger life-forms, and that we should continue sending larger and larger animals.
First we sent small animals into space: a dog, then monkeys.
After that: people.
And then we stopped. I expected that we would have sent cows, horses, maybe even hippos or elephants by now.
A blue whale would be impressive.
And a bowl of petunias.
Not again!

Very suspicious if you ask me
Maybe there’s a secret program that They don’t want us to know about.
Maybe they don’t want to go
What would be the point?
