When I lived in W. TX as a kid, these lizards were the payload for our Estes rockets. We learned about the asbestos wadding needed after launching the rocket, engine blew the nose cone off, but welded the plastic parachute to the lizard.

We had no shortage of alternate payloads. They’re everywhere.

Thanks for the confession....I thought I was the only one going to hell for doing that as a kid!

Those lizards didn't handle the G forces to well.
