Italian Space Program Orbits Rabbit Over Sardigna
Carrot feast follows feat
by Pixeleen Mistral, National Affairs desk

Scientific proof - rabbit reaches an altitude of over 200,000 meters above Sardigna
Maximilian Baxton sent a report to the Second Life Herald’s iMojowire 3G this afternoon, celebrating a new era of space exploration - propelling a rabbit avatar to the incredible altitude of 200,000 meters. The heroic italian rabbit - named Maximilian Baxton - used a “fiendish attachment” to propel himself into the sky over Sardigna sim.
“I desired to emulate Laika, the soviet space dog” , said Maximilian when he finally returned to earth after his dangerous mission. Maximilian went on to say, “I wanted to finally make it clear that rabbits are not cowards”. Sources indication that for italians, rabbits are seen as the most cowardly of all animals, holding a position comparable to the chicken for english-speakers.
To the hero go the spoils of victory, and so awash in a blaze of glory, Maximilian is currently partying with all his Sardinian friend and handing out carrots to all the guests - until his next Guinness-record space flight.

Nice to see it's taken the furfags this long for a manned spaceflight.
PN has already reached the moon and planted our glorious flag and have a thriving colony of Flabbers, Spengbabs and Lulzturtles, immune to furry persecution.
AW CRAP, IT'S THOSE GODDAMN GOREANS AGAIN.
WHY YOU TEAR DOWN MY CITY WALL.

Could we get all the furries up at that altitude? And then keep them there?

if you really wanted to emulate Laika...
Laika burned up in the atmosphere on re-entry.

And then have it snow fur every spring when they start to shed? Are you crazy?
