Please tell your friend Ed that the Russian satellite that carried a dog was
dubbed "Muttnik" and the American proposal to top that by shooting a pair of
cows into orbit was "the herd shot 'round the world".

How many astronauts does it take to screw in a light bulb?   Two, but they
have to be pretty small.

P.S. the complete story of the cow jumping over the Moon can be found in the
Lord of the Rings, volume I, book I, chapter IX.
