I always say, the USSR killed a dog, that really put the U.S. in their place.

Laika the Space Dog.
She shall aways be circling our large planet and shall never be forgotten.
To: nickcarraway
She did not "sacrifice her life" some human did that for her.
What does this person think they are, an elementary school teacher?
I am sure it was done Kindly.
Bah.

I always loved Laika, and still feel somewhat blue about her fate.
Of course I wasn't too thrilled either with the way Russians sacrificed dogs to kill enemy tanks.

Well, they didn’t even value the lives of their own soldiers any more than the dogs. They would wipe out one of their own divisions, if it was in the way.

Wouldn’t her capsule have de-orbited by now?

I like to think of Laika endlessly circling the Earth, looking down on us with her sad eyes.
To: nickcarraway
"She weighed about 13 pounds (6 kilograms) during her space flight."OK, high school physics nerds, what's wrong with that sentence?
To: ProtectOurFreedom
Laika massed 13 kilograms during the orbit.

“Wouldn’t her capsule have de-orbited by now?”
The problem with that flight was that they didn’t have a heat shield, so she was doomed. I believe after that, the dogs survived.

Apparently the Soviets sent 11 other dogs on orbital and sub-orbital flights, 2 of which were the first animals to orbit and survive.
