Trained to pull levers in response to sounds and lights, Ham performed his tasks admirably in space—moving only slightly slower than he had on Earth.
A commercial rectal thermistor probe was used instead of the probe used on the human Mercury astronauts. The probe was inserted 8 inches deep into Ham's rectum.
Due to a valve malfunction, the Redstone rocket delivered thrust higher than intended. The anomaly triggered the emergency escape rocket and subjected Ham to 17 g of acceleration
Pretty wild reading about him.

Worse was stopping at Stuckeys but being told "no" on the candy.
You can order them online, though I haven't tried yet: Stuckey's
Now that would have been downright cruel and unusual punishment to me as a kid.
Another favorite of mine that can also be ordered on-line is the "Coconut Long Boys" the candy with the long, thin roll of chewy goodness infused with real coconut.

I see someone found the old Kodachrome slides and the projector! The color saturation in old slides always amazes me.
Great pics, Mauser!
