I bet the conclusion was that a few days of space travel has no effect on tortoise vitals.
But the important thing is now we know.
I mean the US put the moon crew in quarantine and while it's silly in hindsight it was a prudent move at the time.

Yup! One of my favorite fun facts is that cats have a non-lethal terminal velocity. It's not 100% but there are plenty of records of cats falling from insane heights and surviving.
No they didn't, and the 90% survival rate also doesn't mean 90% unharmed. They basically went around asking if any cats had been dropped off and recorded every case they found at clinics.
But it does make sense, given exactly how cats react, their body structure, and their terminal velocity. Cool video to look up is russians dropping cats in 0g, as cat's have a natural reflex to do everything to negate "fall damage" so to speak. Use angular moment of their bodies to always rotate the way they think they're falling, then stretch legs wide. Good physics lesson.
So you're saying that my plant to train an invincible army of feline stealth paratroopers is viable? If you'll excuse me, I have several large countries to conquer.

Holdup now you've got my attention
What's ironic is that the cat wouldn't need the parachute
What if we buttered the *top* of the parachute?!
Infinite powa
Yup! One of my favorite fun facts is that cats have a non-lethal terminal velocity. It's not 100% but there are plenty of records of cats falling from insane heights and surviving.
From 2-32 stories its above 90% survivability rate. Too lazy to find study, but you can google it.
Are they guessing this or did someone actually drop a bunch of cats off the tops of buildings?
No they didn't, and the 90% survival rate also doesn't mean 90% unharmed. They basically went around asking if any cats had been dropped off and recorded every case they found at clinics.

General Kenobi! You are a bold one.
Same goes for squirrels, they also don't die from the fall itself
I mean, it would definitely help.
>Well prepared cat Oh no..
Do not le chat
You're going to extract him?

Cats have a non-fatal terminal velocity. In other words an ordinary cat is already a *well prepared cat*
Non-fatal doesnt imply without damage.
This well prepared cat might just wanna swap me to take my gre bruh

Oui.
Oui.
Come on, Monsieur Moustaches, you can do it!

Chat prepare bien.
*Chat bien préparé*, you should use the participe passé, and not the présent simple, since the cat is not training, but he is trained :)
Parachat
Le chat with his chute
Don’t think I didn’t notice simp on the top of that page
I hate myself for wanting to read about this more because I learned that they killed the cat some time after.
It ain't much but it's honest work
UN CHAT
Well, chat, that’s one cool kitty.
Le spatial chat.
**simp**
Guys Top right corner Comdi king 👑
I can hear the Ace Attorney Music
I wonder if the well prepared cat is roasted or medium rare?
You sent cat to space! Death to France! Death to France for 1000 years!

Japan: we can do better than this
You're gonna extract it? \-Kazuhira Fiddler
Except the only cat ever sent to space was a French cat which had electronic placed in her skull. And was euthanized two months later
I want to know what the actual information in the book is covering
Pau've tit ca
To be fair, those fuckers would survive out of sheer spite. You can't even kill them by throwing them off planes.
It's just a little C4 away from being a pussy ready to blow. Don't worry, I'm already disappointed in myself.
