Moustronauts legal clash delays planned space mouse flight
Schenectady reports Gus the Moustraumt, a pet mouse, and nine boys face FAA objections to a proposed space flight in spaceship Buttercup. Attorney Armand Riccio accuses federal bureaucrats of a runaround as FAA officials cite Part 101 prohibitions due to air traffic risks. The project, named after Gus Grissom, has paused despite tests showing the mouse is fit and prepared for launch in a 56 inch solid fuel rocket.
