"Eighteen minutes after launching, the space capsule with ham inside, is bobbing in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, 420 miles from Cape Canaveral.....although the chimpanzee's actual space flight lasted only eighteen minutes, the capsule overshot its mark, and thus delayed the recovery, and so it is 3 hours before the the chamber, newly spackled with ham's enthusiasm, is gently lowered onto the deck, of the landing ship.."

ashes2flames cannot send this video to Beggar's Corner because ashes2flames does not have enough Power Points - ignoring beg request by ashes2flames. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)
