    Bonus Episode: A Brief History of Animals in Space

    What happens when HR decides the best candidate for space travel is someone who can't file their own W-2? Join us for a special bonus episode celebrating Ham the Astrochimp's historic spaceflight and all the other pioneering pets who ventured into the final frontier. https://multiverseemployeehandbook.com In this episode, we explore how NASA's most diverse hiring initiative sent over 30 different species beyond Earth's atmosphere. From Ham's groundbreaking performance review at 6.6 times gravity to Félicette the French cat's uniquely unimpressed approach to making history, discover why some job interviews should really include "willing to be shot into orbit" in the requirements. Key topics include: Ham's journey from trainee to space pioneer The surprisingly selective chimp recruitment program The Soviet Union's innovative permanent remote work policy Why spiders need better project management skills in zero gravity How to conduct performance reviews at escape velocity Whether you're a space enthusiast, animal lover, or just wondering why NASA's first diversity initiative involved fruit flies, this episode has something for everyone. Learn why being first in space matters less when you're sharing your achievement with beings whose entire life purpose is to annoy banana ripeness testers. Remember: in the multiverse of corporate culture, every species is simultaneously overqualified and underappreciated until someone straps them to a rocket. #AnimalsInSpace #SpaceHistory #Ham #LaikanLegacy #SpaceChimp #AnimalAstronauts #SpaceExploration #NASA #SovietSpaceProgram #ScienceHistory #TMEH Visit https://multiverseemployeehandbook.com for: Full show notes and quantum probability calculations Our blog post: "The Complete Guide to Animal Astronauts: Earth's First Remote Workers" Quantum-entangled newsletter signup Support options across all possible dimensions Special January 31st episode celebrating the anniversary of Ham's historic spaceflight!
