Maybe I should launch a lemur just to say I was first.
Someone could make a business letting people and businesses pay them to put the first X into space. Imagine some pop star saying she had the first poodle to ever orbit the moon.
- georgeplusplus 3y agoTheres always a market for someone wanting to be the first in something no matter how pointless. It is fascinating and a bit ridiculous to see what records there are in guinness. I used to always lol watching US Baseball when the announcer would say a player achieved a super specific statistic like, so and so is ranked 1st this year in getting on base after having a 0-2 count and the player before him just struck out. Like, who is keeping track of this stuff.
