Miss Baker

Retired monkeynaut launched to space in 1959 and returned home safely. I like fruit, rockets, kids and just hanging out.

I tend to jump around a lot so that makes me a less than ideal model for a statue. However, with the right amount of bananas.....

@davidhitt @Astro_MissBaker I blame the space monkey mafia.

@airandspace they call me Miss Baker :-) The flight really didn't go so well for Able. She passed shortly after the flight during a medical procedure. #RIPAble

[National Air and Space Museum @airandspace]

60 years ago today, Baker the squirrel monkey and Able the rhesus monkey were launched into space on a Jupiter rocket on a sub-orbital flight. Both monkeys survived the flight: https://t.co/7tEkOcOQcS #IdeasThatDefy

[Miss Baker @Astro_MissBaker]

Spotted this wannabe “Space Bunny” is invading my “space” at HAB 1 with a grey squirrel. I think they are planning to take me out. #SendHelp

@SciCommSara #Congrats Doctor!!

#LittleKnownFact I wasn't just an exhibit at @RocketCenterUSA, I was also a part of their security force.
