• On this day in 1957, Russian "spacedog" Laika became the first living creature from Earth to enter orbit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika

"My Life As A Dog," a great Swedish film, talked about her. I looked at her this morning. I'll post Joe's tweet. We owe her that much.

Of course that's really sad :( but this was still a massive milestone in space travel, of course.

Facebook: On this day in 1957, Russian "spacedog" Laika became the first living creature from Earth to enter orbit. She died on her fourth day in space, and some, including a scientist involved, regretted allowing her to die. In 2008, Russian officials unveiled a monument to her in Moscow.
