Cite your sources please. Without verifiable sources, you're just making shit up.

Am I making up that the US sent animals into space? What claim do you think I'm making up? I already linked my source 2 comments ago.

You cited a single source from a tabloid run by a Russian Oligarch. That doesn't count. Please post multiple, verifiable sources.

That what? That the US sent animals into space?

American and Russian scientists utilized animals—mainly monkeys, chimps and dogs—in order to test each country’s ability to launch a living organism into space and bring it back alive and unharmed.

Per NASA.
