Russia is going to send a cosmonaut (that's what they call astronauts. Yay, new vocabulary!) to Mars. But there's a problem. No one knows how the radiation exposure during a year-and-a-half-long flight would harm travelers. A monkey has volunteered to travel instead. At least, I hope so. It'd be cruel to force the monkey to do it.
The monkey will be taken care of by a robot. Is there going to be any kind of human or even sub-human on this journey? How come robots and monkeys are going to Mars before human?
Back to (monkey) business! The robot will feed the monkey and clean up after it. The humans will have to teach the monkey how to cooperate and work with the robot. Back to kindergarten!
I still think the monkey should get paid.
