Soviet LIES over first dog in space: How the world looked up on this day in 1957 believing mongrel Laika would spend six days in orbit before being humanely poisoned... but Russia knew she had died within HOURS of blast off

Did anyone ever really iron pajamas?

[SmokingJoe]

I did. Back in the day.

[Joe 6-pack]

Far more humane and research worthy than Fauci’s beagles.

[MNDude]

What does Daily Mail think about Beagles being eaten alive by fleas?

[Berosus]

So this is Laika’s untold story.

Now, do we have any new information about a test flight the Soviets launched in 1960, which was supposedly a satellite carrying a dummy cosmonaut? I have heard rumors that it was actually a real cosmonaut, but they couldn’t bring him back alive, so they lied about the mission, effectively erasing the first man in space from history.

Somehow, the dog in the photo above actually looks like it’s russian.

This article is four years old, so it’s not exactly “new.” But the “lost cosmonaut” claim has apparently been debunked.

Soviets launched dummy named “IVAN IVANOVITCH” aka John Doe on test flights known as Korabl Sputnik through 1960 and early 1961

Dummy has a placard in helmet visor “MAKET” or dummy in case found would not think was dead cosmonaut or space alien

Dummy would transmit recorded sounds of breathing and heart beat to test air - ground telemetry

US did same thing launching dummy to test Mercury spacecraft before John Glenn orbital flight

Pretty sure Soviets weren't the only liars.

Did anyone ever really iron pajamas?

Probably. My aunt used to iron my uncle's underwear.

[Magnetar]

Holy smokes you’re right! the more I look at it!

The Soviets LiES.....

In other shocking news, sky is blue, grass is green.

Laika had in fact passed away from either overheating or asphyxiation within a matter of hours – before she had been due to be poisoned after fulfilling her purpose.

Sure, but the US abandoned THREE lunar Rovers. /rimshot

Pardon the sudden modern history outburst, btw.

[Persevero]

What am I supposed to see in the circle?

[hoosierham]

Explain please
