The other one was that monkey

Our local public radio just noted that John "Glenn is often introduced to audiences as one of the greatest men in the world."

Yeah. Along with Albert II.

Great link, thanks. Though I'd go with Able and Baker as the greatest. To paraphrase John Glenn's old pal Chuck, good space flights are those you knuckle-walk away from.

This line made me laugh: "A rhesus monkey called Scatback flew a sub-orbital flight on December 20, 1961 but was lost at sea after landing." After earning a nickname like that, how hard do you think they looked for him?

Space monkey (sort of divine)
Space monkey (so out of line)
