What would the private sector have done had they been funded to fly to the moon?
I think John William Wilkey (Jack) one of the 1st five employees of NASA was right! Fly a pig vs. small monkey as it is more human size organs The first monkey died at NASA and the did not tell the public about replacing it. However, the press / public relations says people love monkies! What a commercial company showboat a monkey or do the right thing?
We will never know if a pig could fly in space, but we do know that today private rocket companies besides Lockheed Martin and others is the future!
