Atlantic search flagged a spacecraft probe off Ascension Island chasing a white mouse named Wickle. The Thor Able rocket reached 600 miles up and 6,000 miles out, with the nose cone later plunging back to Earth and investigators seeking recovery to study heat resistance and survivability odds. The mission aims to learn if a living animal can endure space travel and return alive, marking a pivotal step toward manned lunar voyages.
