Monkey to be sent to Mars By Russians

Well, I wish that primate the best of luck. (can't get a good picture on that primate knowing whether its a monkey or apes. apes are bigger and dont have tails)

Here's to hoping it wont fuck up since Mars is obviously ALOT further than the moon and may be about what? 3 weeks there than 3 days to the moon?

Honestly, we always send machines to space to detect and collect information so...why send a living thing such as a Primate? It isn't the 1950s/1960s anymore. What if something happens to the primate? if he dies, they go "oh well, lets send in another one!"? This may be considered animal cruelty, you know.

You're talking about a country with shady human rights records that came to light during the Georgian and Cechenya wars.
 
Well, what are they going to do with a monkey? A monkey doesn't really communicate with us...all he will do is chitter and fool around, whatsnot.
 
yeah, I know they do but they don't understand complex things in outer space. I'm not sure what function they want from a monkey...probably to see if a monkey survives on Mars?

I remember reading somewhere that some chimpanzees beat college students on the brain exams...so yeah they can be as smart as humans.

Chimpanzees Beat College Students at Computerized Brain Test - Brain Age - Gizmodo

I am very amazed at that one chimpanzee picking out the numbers in order and is fast!

Ooo! It might be cool information about apes can do something and communcation. I'm forward in what's next! :D
 
Hmmmm, they are sending a robot companion as well.
"The robot will feed the monkey, will clean up after it. Our task will be to teach the monkey to co-operate with the robot."
Good luck with that, lol.
