She shall aways be circling our large planet and shall never be forgotten.
What does this person think they are, an elementary school teacher?
I am sure it was done Kindly.
Bah.
Arthur C. Clarke’s tribute to Laika

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.
good girl
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.
OK, high school physics nerds, what's wrong with that sentence?
Laika massed 13 kilograms during the orbit.
6 kilograms.
Typing in hurry.....
“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.
Which dogs?
Apparently the Soviets sent 11 other dogs on orbital and sub-orbital flights, 2 of which were the first animals to orbit and survive.
You got it!!
Typical know-nothing reporter.
Sorry, just Laika.
