Mice have gone to space. They've been launched to the skies since the 1950s. There are some mice up there right now. Seriously!
A few years back on the 21st Century Fox webcomic forum, there was a slightly more serious discussion about furries and space suits. The comic had gotten to a sequence where a major character was training for a space mission; one strip involved trying on space suits, and the artist tossed out a few designs as a challenge to the readers. A question came up about suit designs accounting for a tail; someone suggested an elastic tail sleeve which would expand and contract, keeping the suit's pressure constant as the astronaut moved. Of course, that led to fart jokes...

Reminds me of a scene in the RR fanfic Under The Bridge, involving a helium-filled rubber suit, and what happens when the gas is vented...
