Hermes, a lab rat, is being trained in Boyacá, central Colombia, by a psychologist, in order to be part of a space mission. Astronomer (and astrologist) Hernán Charry, the leader of the team, said Hermes will be released in a rocket which should reach a height of 85 km.

Besides to getting used to the centrifugal force, the little animal is put under a hard psychological training so it can  "drive a device to open the rocket and [Hermes] can come down to Earth again with a parachute". The launch is set to early 2008, according to Caracol Radio.

By the way, is Hermes being treated well? What are Charry (who founded his research by making astral charts) and his team aiming for? What happened with Libertad I, that Álvaro Leyva (a Colombian politician) rocket? Will Charry join him and National University to the "Colombian space career"?
