As kids we used to recruit lizards for astronaut duty and launch them in Estes Rockets with the clear capsule. They were a bit dazed upon re-entry but always ran off within a minute of touchdown.

LOL!!! That is too funny. I used to do model rocketry all the time. My sister and I would stick little fisher-price people in the payload. I’m pretty sure a few grasshoppers took the expedition, too. And all of this was under my father’s watchful and exuberant eye. (He only had daughters—so the fact we liked rocketry was one of the only things that saved him from all of the barbie dolls lying around.) We asked my dad to put all kinds of wacky things in the payload, most of which he refused because of simple physics.

Putting a turtle on a ballon is pretty mild compared to lizards in a payload, if you think about the turbulence of it.

But it’s pretty clear that Disney-Pixar is a guilty party in this animal cruelty case. Where do you think they got the idea for ballons????? “Up” will be a banned movie soon.
