Put a man and it's a crime, put another kind of innocent life and it's ok.. Love science but really I'm still haunted by Laika's photo I've seen in an encyclopedia as a child.. Her eyes.. Thank you to all creatures lost for human benefit.. ❤

The good old days before animals had rights. Placed in a death trap against her will, and died by being baked alive. Oh right, that wasn't what happened according to records. Silly me If there is life beyond our little bubble. I pray mankind never infects it

🚀 68 Years Since the First Life Reached Orbit
On November 3, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 2, carrying Laika, a stray dog from Moscow — the first living creature ever sent into orbit.
Laika’s mission proved that life could survive spaceflight, paving the way for human space exploration. Although she did not return, her flight marked a turning point in the history of space science and remains one of its most poignant milestones.
