When the United States was scrambling to catch up to the Soviets after their successful launch of Sputnik, they didn't turn to Mercury Seven astronauts Alan Shepard and John Glenn.

Detailed back matter provides resources, space mission stats, and calls to action for young readers to honor the astrochimps' legacy and advocate for the humane treatment of chimpanzees today. At work, at play, in and out of spacecrafts, these chimps played an under-appreciated part in helping the United States win the Space Race., Meet Ham, Minnie, Enos, Roscoe, Tiger, and Rocky.
