Monkeys in space
The recent sentient monkeys have been finally sent to LEO, after long delays caused by the Space Union Workers, afraid of the consequences of this particular species of workers.
The SUW had denounced the space monkey programs as inhumane, first, and after they were successful, as evil, this time in association with the Fundamentalist Rock Christian Association, the same one that took over the RIAA.
When approaches to raise public awareness failed, the SUW went back for the violent approach, which further alienated it from the public opinion, thus undermining its cause and effectively making it easier for the Space Simian Company to engage both politicians and investors in an accelerated program.
Among the Rhesus monkeys that will stay in orbit for more than an Earth year is the famous Pencilbreaker, the first Rhesus to obtain a PhD. When asked about the decision to go to orbit, with all the perils it entails, Pencilbreaker only shrugged, and pointed to the SUW and the FRCA demonstrators parked outside the Elevator facilities, sending disrupting memes and setting up portable spamservers in the vicinity of the event.
The crew of twenty Rhesus will be followed by fifty nimps, New and Improved humans, with radiation proofing and vacuum resistant skins.
