18. Cats actually made it into space not long after we humans did. In 1963, a pair of them were sent into orbit, making “catstronauts” a potentially real-life profession for cats.
For comparison, humans first got to space in 1961, when the Russians sent a cosmonaut there and back. The United States followed shortly after that, and then, evidently, cats were sent up.
Did these cosmic cats have any cool catchphrases, á la Neil Armstrong? “One small leap for catkind”—that sort of thing?
