QUESTION FOUR: The reader can infer that people associated with space exploration had a deep appreciation for the animals that were used in space flight testing. Select the sentence from the text that best supports this inference.
On January 31, 1961, Ham, whose name was an acronym for Holloman Aero Med, became the first chimpanzee in space, aboard the Mercury Redstone rocket on a sub-orbital flight very similar to Alan Shepard's.
Ham performed well during his flight and splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean 60 miles from the recovery ship.
Ham's mission paved the way for the successful launch of America's first human astronaut, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., on May 5, 1961.
His other remains were respectfully laid to rest in front of the International Space Hall of Fame in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
