We are thrilled to announce our latest addition to our wooden jigsaw puzzle collection – the Space Monkey puzzle! Featuring an adorable monkey in a space suit without a helmet, this puzzle is sure to be a hit with puzzle enthusiasts of all ages.

But have you ever wondered if a real monkey could go to space? Or if they could survive in the harsh environment of outer space? Let’s explore some fascinating facts about monkeys and space.

Can a Monkey Really Go to Space?

The answer is yes! Monkeys were the first animals to be sent into space by the United States in the late 1940s. The first primate in space was a rhesus monkey named Albert II, who reached an altitude of 83 miles before tragically dying upon re-entry due to parachute failure.

How Big is a Monkey and How Could They Get to Space?

Monkeys come in a range of sizes, with the largest being the mandrill, which can weigh up to 120 pounds. But how could a monkey get to space? Monkeys would need to be launched in a spacecraft that is specifically designed to support their weight and size. Additionally, the spacecraft would need to provide them with oxygen, food, and water for the duration of the mission.

Can Monkeys Survive in Space?

While monkeys have been sent to space, they cannot survive in the vacuum of space without proper equipment. Without a space suit or spacecraft, a monkey would quickly suffocate due to the lack of air.
