Rare Archive Footage of Cats Training for Space Program, 1950s

We’ve all heard of Space Cats... well, if you haven’t, look them up on Twitter. Now it can be revealed our feline friends were actually trained to go into space during the Cold War! Perhaps NASA hoped Catstronauts would be able to climb to heights where the Soviet Spacedogs could not reach them. Please enjoy and share this video, it has no commercial value to us -- if you like, check out the Moores Fights Back nonprofit fundraiser video below. Float on, all you Space Cats!
