If rats are such good scientists could they let them take over the climate research department? They sure couldn’t do worse.

"Monkeys would probably give a better determination of the effects on humans. They might even make useful permanent residents if they can be trained to perform simple tasks without pushing any wrong buttons." Tens of millions of dollars spent to send astronauts into space to clean up monkey poo and piss.

“Wasn’t this done in 1960’s?”
Actually, yes, a RAT was flown in the 1960s - and again in 1998, in exchange for getting President Clinton off the hook for handing our best technology to China.
SICKENING.
