From Wikipedia:
Ham (July 1956 – January 19, 1983), also known as Ham the Chimp and Ham the Astrochimp, was the first hominid launched into outer space. Ham's name is an acronym for the lab that prepared him for his historic mission — the Holloman Aerospace Medical Center, located at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

Scientists Testify in Bunco Case
Los Angeles -- Dr. Edwin P. Hubble, of the Mt. Wilson observatory; Dr. Robert A. Millikan, of California Institute of Technology; Dr. Frederick H. Seares, and Dr. Walter S. Adams, both of Mt. Wilson Observatory, appear in court to testify at a preliminary hearing for Herman Dudley Abrams on charges that he swindled $27,000 from R.W. Hickman and his wife, who said that they put up money for exploitation of a medicinal clay after allegedly being told by Abrams that the scientists had "endorsed" the product. The scientists denied knowing Abrams or endorsing his clay. (1941)
