The argument used to defend the ethics of sending animals into space would be that it is better to risk the life of an animal to test the safety of the proceedings before the life of a human is put at risk.
There are two sides to any argument. Many would argue that it is wrong to send a defenceless animal into space when it has no say in the decision. Others would argue that it would be extremely foolhardy to send a human into first without first finding out if it was safe to do so by sending an animal before the human was sent.
Probably because it was along time ago and we didn't care as much as we do now.
because people wanted to know if they could send people into space and come back to earth safely.
Chimpanzees have already been to space.
It tells you about how space can have effect on animals and how.

There are different ways to define space exploration. In the 1940s the US began sending animals into space. Planning for US human exploration began with the formation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in July of 1958.
Tasks that are performed by sending people into space, as opposed to tasks performed by sending autonomous or robotic vehicles to do the job.
They help animals to live longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is unfair to use the animals for space or any other reasons . they are here to share us the life . not for us . they have no voice to tell us about the fear which they suffer it . but their eyes can tell . Please don't ignore their pain . the whole world should wake up and stop using the animals that way .
As the space shuttle is a reusable it is now to old.
by sending space probes to space like the mars rover helps us understand the climate, etc. so when we get there we know what were dealing with and where to land
Yes
i have no clue;)
pros: We can learn lots of things by sending crews and space probes. For without space probes how would we be able to tell the weather. cons: Many humans can die in space if there is a problem with the space craft and billions of dollars will be wasted.
yes rockets take animals to space
