Pig Launch: Because Launching Human Babies Was So Far Ahead Of Its Time

First on the Moon

It’s the glorious 1930s. The Russians reach the moon ahead of everybody else. But at the core of this drama is an unlucky, drunken pig… Yes, you can cry now.

The “intriguing” photos you’ll see here, where Russians stuff an inebriated pig into some huge cannon, are actually stills from Alexei Fedorchenko’s mockumentary, First on the Moon. A recent review is here, older context is here. And if you still want to scratch that itch (believe us, you will), buy the DVD here.
