Explanation:
Könnte "couch" hier das Verb sein? Im Sinne von "auf der Lauer liegen" oder "warten"

Ein Affe namens Ham liegt auf dem Biobehälter und wartet auf den ... Testflug.

Ich kenne den Rest des Textes nicht und weiß deshalb auch nicht, ob diese Übersetzung in die richtige Richtung geht. Steht hier der Affe im Vordergrund oder der Testflug?
