Barrel Roll On The Niagara
Annie Edson Taylor shows us that you can be both stupid and brave at the same time. To be fair, she did make history for doing something amazing. Did you know that she was the first person to survive a 180-foot fall from Niagara Falls in a barrel? She was 63 years old when she and her cat made the legendary barrel roll. She somehow came out of it with nothing more than a scratch on the head!
Meet The Astrochimp
The first surviving American astronaut by the name of Ham. He was sent to space and successfully returned home. He was able to beat Yuri Gagarin by twelve days and Alan Shepard by nearly two months. However, he was not the first animal to go to space! That honor goes to Laika on the Sputnik II.
