" The first living creature on record to have been launched by a rocket was a ram sent to an altitude of 600 feet by Claude Ruggieri in 1806. The animal survived. Inspired, Ruggieri tried to find a volunteer for a manned flight in 1830...until the police stepped in (largely because Ruggieri had recruited a child). "
