Salutes to you, Gordo

Gordo - R.I.P
Forever you will be Remembered

I just read the saddest thing. Gordo apperantly died in a very sad way... Here is the little paragraph from rateitall.com:

Gordo, a spider monkey, traveled to space in 1958, becoming the first monkey to do so. Gordo traveled more than 1500 miles in a rocket before splashing back down into the South Atlantic. Sadly, Gordo's parachute failed to open, and the rocket's nose cone sank, dragging Gordo to a hero's death. The Pentagon assumed responsibility for the tragedy.

Poor Gordo. We love you Gordo! It wasn't all in vain, you changed history! We hope you like your home at the big Jungle Gym in the Sky!
