One small step for animals one giant leap for human kind Did you know that before humans went into space, several animals were launched into space, including numerous non-human primates, so that scientists could investigate the biological effects of space travel. The United States launched flights containing primate cargo primarily between 1948-1961 with one flight in 1969 and one in 1985. France launched two monkey-carrying flights in 1967. The Soviet Union and Russia launched monkeys between 1983 and 1996. Most primates were anesthetized before lift-off. Overall thirty-two monkeys flew in the space program; none flew more than once. Numerous back-up monkeys also went through the programs but never flew. Monkeys and apes from several species were used, including rhesus monkeys, cynomolgus monkeys, squirrel monkeys, pig-tailed macaques, and chimpanzees. Now a days human corrages enough to step foot on the moon

Landing on earth. Old buildings, Dry ground and nothing else. It had been 63 years since I was last on earth. As I walked it felt weird because I'm have gravity now and the sun's far away but is Mr.Martain still here!

The landing had been hard and gruelling, placing even more stress on this aged body. Joints creaking, muscles thinned, Brutus made his way through the concrete jungle. Years in no gravity had withered his body but not his mind. He slumbered forward, walking through cratered playgrounds and empty shells of buildings. Turning through the empty laneways he felt that this could not be his blue planet that he left 65 years ago. What had happened?
He slumped towards a shelter, before it got to dark to find a place.
Reaching one of the larger buildings, he entered the arched doors and waddled in. Eyes. Thousands of eyes met him.

Imagine being sent into space as a dog monkey and chimpanzee and no not space chimps real life animals what would you be feeling like I would probably feel sad mostly because human kind are just using animals like test dummies but animals are more then just animals their a part of our life

I like your analogy (comparison) of animals to test dummies.

I look around to see what had happened to my home. I was confused, tired and an emotional wreak. My home was deserted, like an island in the middle of the ocean. I wanted to land home and run back into my beloved owners arms. While I look around I hear a voice, but not just any voice a familer voice. "Chimpy, Chimpy" the voice called. I ran over to where the voice was coming from. I crept forward to see who or what was there.

As I landed on the earth. Nothing. Nobody was in sight. Only a speck of dirt was left on the ground. Where had everybody gone and how long had I gone for. Am I on the right planet . I thought this to myself. Let's take this in a positive way. I get earth all to myself. This should be amazing. I started to walk around and what was still around. I thought to myself I've been gone for 65 years no one is going to be here. I looked around the conner of a building and saw ................ Nothing 😱

As the spacecraft enters the atmosphere. "Touch down" Chip waddled out of the spacecraft and into the cool air...... Earth looked different, very different.

Chip started to walk around the buildings he once new, now destroyed, crumbled vines hanging from flagpoles, then he realised he was the last thing on earth.
