Can you imagine if this were the US sending animals into space? PETA would blow a gasket! I remember when we used to send dogs and chimps into space in the 50's, but that wouldn't "fly" these days.

Actually kind of an interesting mission despite the fact that it’s Russian. Their findings will be suspect for obvious reasons but still.

This is definitely a slap in the face for the *Prime Directive*.

The Russians sent a dog up on the second Sputnik, but were not able to bring her back to earth alive. Heartless Commies.

An assortment of critters and microbes are scheduled to make a round-trip journey to Phobos as passengers aboard a Russian spacecraft . . .

Wonderful. If this thing has a problem and crashes, either on Phobos or Mars, they they infect that environment. If they survive, perhaps they'll mutate (even if they don't) and screw up any further investigation of life on Mars as we won't know which is which.
