They used to send animals into space to make sure it was safe for humans, and to see what the effects might be. These days they occasionally take organsims such as worms into space to see how the lack of gravity effects them.
Animals were sent into space to test how the effects of space travel would affect biological organisms. Space scientists wanted to know what effects weighlessness, solar radiation, g-forces, re-entry through the Earth's atmosphere etc. would have on living creatures.
The animals concerned didn't actually DO anything, they were just observed to see how their bodies and biological functions were affected by a trip into outer space. The more intelligent creatures, such as dogs and monkeys, were taught how to operate simple mechanisms to feed and water themselves when needed, but that's all.
Each one of us has an impact on the environment and the world in which we live. Growing food and raising animals also uses resources from the earth. Humans impact the environment through deforestation, agricultural and livestock activities, urbanization and burning fossil fuels .
Each and every living creature produces greenhouse gases (GHG). Greenhouse gases are gases in the earth's atmosphere and can be produced in nature and through human industry. An increased amount of GHG generates high temperatures on earth. The most abundant GHG are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.
The amount of GHG that agriculture and farming produces around the world is different. This is because each livestock production system is different in the way it uses resources. Agricultural systems are often categorized into two types of systems: extensive farming and intensive farming.
Extensive farming is a type of agriculture that is mainly a pasture-based and land-based system. In beef cattle production, for example, cattle in an extensive system would graze in a pasture. Intensive systems have more concentrated operations and are often more mechanized. A feedlot is an example of an intensive system for beef cattle production.

The more space there is, the more resources become available. This causes the carrying capacity to go up. Therefore, more plants and animals will live there for the abundance of resources.
No oxygen, lowered gravity and usually there is no food for them eat
i think it was about 200-300 animals went to space
Animals were the first living thing in space.
staffs mainly
yes there was a monkey a chimp and a dog
The reason they sent animals up before the people is that they wanted to make sure that the space craft was safe. If the air leaked out. If it stayed together in space. If the dog or monkey came back safely, then the space-craft was ready to travel in.
It tells you about how space can have effect on animals and how.
yes rockets take animals to space
i think it was about 200-300 animals went to space
SPACE FOODS...
Other than humans, the space station has no animals on it.
It depends how you mean, on there own no. One of the first animals from Earth to go to space was a dog. Human Beings are animals and many humans have been into space
Humans ARE animals. All animals breath oxygen, so all animals would be in trouble in space (unprotected).
The only animals to go into space were put there by launches from Earth. Currently the only mammals in space are human. At one time or another there have been a wide variety of animals taken into space for experiments and study.
The first animals were launched into space to see if it would be possible for them to survive in space at all. Once that was settled and humans went into space, there was no longer a need for space pets.
Of course! We are animals, so yes, other animals must eat in space too. We are just one example.
t happen to the animals when the space where they live become smaller?
to see if its posibal to survive in space
