IRAN SAID TODAY that it had successfully sent a monkey into space.
The monkey returned “intact,” according to the Iranian Ministry of Defense, after flying to an altitude of 120 kilometres, according to the Fars news agency in Iran. Here’s a still picture of the monkey in a vest, released by Iranian TV via @MahirZeynalov on twitter.
