	Grease monkeys in space
		Customer overheard at orbiting garage: "Take out those dents on the fender, replace the generator, and don't forget to fix the solar panels and positioning device." The rumors you've heard are true: Hubble Space Telescope, like an aqua-and-white 1950's Nash Metropolitan after its regular visit to the car-fix, has just finished another round of repairs.
		We can only imagine the aftermath: the astro-mechanics retire to the neighborhood space shuttle and guzzle beers they'd cooled in the vacuum of space.
		Using a space shuttle as an orbiting garage, astronauts changed the oil and rotated the tires on the world's most productive telescope.

		Monkeys are common but their activities rarely bring them within sight or sound of humans, unless at remote lodges or where they become tame.
		The Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri sciureus) is the commonest Amazon monkey, widespread throughout the lowland rainforest.
		Squirrel monkeys like river edges and lake sides, where there is lots of vegetation with vines and lianas, so visitors to the Amazon have a good chance to see this species in the wild.

	Space
		Monkeys were one of the favourite animal test subjects due to their close resemblance to humans.
		In December 1959 a monkey called Sam flew in a prototype of the Mercury space capsule (the spacecraft in which the first American astronauts flew) successfully flew to an altitude of 85km and was safely recovered.
		Throughout space history, animals had to bear the brunt of repeated space experiments and tests in order to make sure that the humans have adequate forewarnings towards dangers, risks and events that may occur.

		Space Medicine Space medicine is the branch of medicine involved in protecting human beings from the environment of space and, at the same time, studying their reactions to that environment.
		Specialists in space medicine are involved in all aspects of spaceflight, from spacecraft design and crew selection to flight operations and postflight review.
		Workers in space medicine are therefore focusing increased attention on the most crucial health issues involved: bone decalcification, changes in the immune system, heart muscle deterioration, and long-term exposure to radiation.

	Flying monkeys - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		The Flying Monkey (Monkius leviosa) is the side-kick of choice of many of history's worst villains; heroes and heroines such as Xena Warrior Princess, Britain's wartime prime minister Judy Garland and Ronald Reagan have been involved in the now centuries-old campaign to wipe the filthy little buggers out.
		Sadly, the era of flying monkey employment in the satellite industry may be short-lived due to the the animals' natural instinct to bite when bored, angry, confused, hungry, intrigued, sleepy, annoyed, drunk or melancholy.
		A bite from a monkey, especially one which hasn't brushed it's teeth recently, can infect the victim with all kinds of unpleasantness, and is to be avoided at all costs.

		Whilst space flight became technologically possible, it was clear that there were still serious concerns about whether a human could survive in space.
		Monkeys and dogs had been launched into space, but it needed humans to test out the limitations of life in zero gravity.
		Between 1961 and 1963 there were six manned space flights and the Mercury Projects objectives were met, allowing for the real goal to be attempted: the landing of an astronaut on the moon.

		NASA has decided that experiments on rhesus monkeys planned for the forthcoming "Bion" missions are ethically acceptable and should go ahead.
		In each, two rhesus monkeys will be launched into orbit for 12 days and then returned to Earth for further study.
		A commission set up to review the ethics of the experiments ruled last week that they would be humane and that there were no alternatives to the use of animals.

		Second in space was Enos, whose Mercury capsule orbited the Earth twice on Nov. 29, 1961, paving the way for John Glenn’s historic flight.

	Lost Garden: Space Crack: Monkeying with 2D art
		Putting the issue of monkeys aside for a moment (although they are very cute indeed), I think that the visual design works because it looks like a board game, and hence appears less "threatening" to a casual gamer than your bog-standard screen from MoO2 or Pax Imperia or whatever.
		I've always enjoyed stories that involved the early space race and them shooting monkeys off in rockets (not that I enjoy the thought of putting monkeys in danger, but the image is a fun one).
		The monkeys are fun, but they take away any sense of grandeur, which to me was kind of the cool part.
