one of the bizarre story about MOL
is the Hamilton SPCA Suits
USAF wanted use Chimp for experiments on MOL and pre manned flight Tests.
USAF used Chimpanzees for G-force centrifuge and rocket sled.
and other potentially dangerous space activities prior manned flight
1968 Hamilton proposed Chimp suit called SPCA for MOL
but they had concern about treatment of Chimps so they build a Human version of Suit !
and put under verification by "the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals"
they consider the (human) SPCA Suit acceptably conferable ans safe for Chimpanzees
Human test Suits for Chimps, who test Spacecraft for humans ;D
although there one thing
on Return to Earth the Gemini B capsule is full with 2 Astronaut, Filmcanister and result of Experiment
were to hell they put the Chimp ?
