Nasa. Rare photograph of the first living animal sent into Space by the Americans: the monkey SAM. SAM made a 55-mile rocket trip into space before falling back to Earth ahead of the Verran astronauts. SAM's journey lasted 13 minutes and ended in the Atlantic Ocean 200 miles from its starting point. We are in 1959, two years before the first flight of an American in Space. Stamp, press captions and annotations on the back. 21,9 x 18,5cm with margins.
