[kaianttila73i]

Poor Laika

R.I.P

[chickenwretch]

ahhh, don't like it? go fuck a dog you morons! think they did this because they were sadists? it was done to help save HUMAN lives, which are infinitely more valued than dogs. don't think so? you just committed a value judgement asshole. demonstrate to the rest of us how an animal shows transcedence.

[scotty12347]

@chickenwretch

Y U mad bro?

[chickenwretch]

@scotty12347 Why attach importance to my alleged anger? I'm human does it matter?

[HoodRobin1974]

Laika, tu ti fidavi degli uomini che ti avevano raccolta dalla strada. Ecco come hanno ripagato la tua fiducia. abbandonandoti nello spazio. Riposa in pace Laika.

[mdotedotedotv]

poor dog! people are so horrible and cruel!

[carterhuntjr]

But still which would you rather do, go to space and die, or live a happy life on earth?!

[carterhuntjr]

Why did Laika have to die!!!!!!!!!! Crap you!! send gorbechave up their u buttholes!

[alekzander2010]

@carterhuntjr actually Khruschnev was the leader of the USSR at the time

he wanted a Miracle for the "Red octobor" so Sending a dog to space was it but the project was rushed and thier was no way she could come back

her food was poisned so she died in a Fast painless way

hey at least she had an exicting life

imagine out of BILLIONS of dogs being the first Living thing on all EARTH to go to space!

[DANIK42095]

why do you all blame russians for this? look at NASA's space experiments in where tons of monkeys died in space, and if they got brought back alive, they were dissected and experimented on. They dont put up any honours for them, but russians did and they told the truth!

[Yiyi24ful]

hay un video en memoria de laika

[andrewniles1]

Im calling the ASPCA on NASA!

[bvespertine]

What a beautiful baby. <3

I know she gave her life to the advancement of astronomy but I still get a little wet-eyed when I see photos and videos of her. I just want to cuddle the little girl.

[alekzander2010]

@bvespertine her life is quit sad

she was a Street dog the only time she ever really had human contact was when a russian scientist took her home before launch to play with

[davo666ify]

Que lastima, tanta tecnologia y para que? solo para matar a Laika

[ColKorn1965]

I visited the Space Museum when I was in Moscow. Belka and Strelka (meaning "Squirrel and "Arrow") are stuffed and displayed next to a satellite. Sputnik 2 is there with not so much as a heroic statue.

[alekzander2010]

@ColKorn1965 their is one in a Park it isnt in the museam

[zillajratomicray]

Thumbs up for the cutest astronaut ever!

[Bigfrie192]

How could they lie about Laika's true death for so long?

[Dreadboy76]

@Bigfrie192 u know how the Russians are.

[papein]

@Bigfrie192 same reason US keeps they secrets for so long.. they`re nasty

[kissmygrittsyall]

Yes, it's awful that any creature great or small should ever come to harm. However, Laika's life was more than just a sad end, she proved that humans could survive the cold reaches of space, and paved way for the entirity of human spaceflight.

When much else of our time is forgotten, Laika will be remembered.

[fenrisulfr88]

Laika Boss

[Juank0120]

People form the usa call this animal abuse just because they didnt do it first....

[ZOLTAR802]

@ cherrypop513 I'm pretty sure the deaths of the cosmonauts of the Salyut 1 mission count as a death in space.

[Dcdrdr34]

I'm curios whether can be be persuaded some human beings especially some bombers, to sacrifice themselves for humanity as Laike and others animals did. Of course I mean sacrifice without any money or other benefits in reward.

[kontrahylian]

Laika Was no Brave soul she was made a ginuea pig cause that oleg dude is the biggest scientific asshole in the history of the ussr

[taicaful]

Poor little laika!!

[jpourkav]

What's upsetting is that more humans have died in space flight than animals, but nobody gives a rats ass about them...

[ADSLISKEWL]

@jpourkav I think people are upset by the fact that they had no plans to retrieve laika alive, they sent her into space to die.

[Cherrypop513]

@jpourkav

Died IN space.All Ive heard were people GOING or COMING from space who have died

[bvespertine]

@jpourkav Because one of the two is defenseless and the other makes a choice.

[wetzin]

el perro estaba bonito pero tubo un final trste al morir 7 horas despues y su cuerpo desapareceria en la explosion del sputnik :,(

[edgaeleo]

inocente perrito no s bias que final te iba a suceder.

[edgaeleo]

inocente perrito nos abias que final te iba a s uceder.

[yogustavo12]

I don't get why you would call this horrific it was a sacrifice made for the good of humanity. look at how many new technological advances were made to this day and still occurring at an exponential rate. Laika will always be remembered, as the first organism to be able to reach space dead or alive (as well as other animals). Laika was a stray dog and now it is a hero of Russian airspace. In comparison to the many animals that are suffering extinction and other issues is by far worse.

[Mobil2611]

Poor dog :(

[something1963]

this would have been allot better if i could understand it

[wolfen682]

so laika was the first living being to escape planet earth. Aliens will see dogs as superior beings to humans? Dogs rulled planet earth? Is Laika still up there then????

[davidlucasfer]

linda la laikita eterna for ever

[radustoik]

i would imagine there are a lot of dead pets in capsules orbiting earth

[traveleasterneurope]

In Memory of Laika's suffering we SHOULD ALL UNITE in yearly massive Spaying and Neutering Campaigns..Campaigns that will Prevent the suffering of countless UNWANTED creatures...

[Ecardz]

That stray would of died in the street. Hit by a car, attacked by animals, contract an illness.... If I where some stray dog, I would rather die in the name of science for millions to remeber by name,and be an important part of history, than die in some ally and be forgotten....

[lunacomputacion]

@Ecardz Well if you were a dog, you wouldn't give a... bone... about science, or the memories of millions - let alone the space race, the cold war and the ideological reasons used to justify repression and brainwashing propanganda, in both sides. Animals are not that stupid.

[goccidebrief]

lanzar un pobre animalito al espacio para que muriese de esa forma, si la hubieran dejado en la tierra hubiera vivido mas de 4 anios!!!!! a mi me gusta la ciencia y las investigaciones, pero de ahi a experimentar con animales es algo con lo que NUNCA voy a estar de acuerdo, tan cobardes eran que no fueron capaces de mandar a un hombre .... esperaron como 10 anios mas para que amstrong subiera a ese cohete.... ESTOY EN CONTRA DE LOS ABUSO HACIA ANIMALES!!! LIVE LAIKA FOR EVER... 

[trakstar13]

she will always live!!! In the heavens....bye Laika.

[virusdapimp]

Laika is just so damn adorable :( I feel sorry for Laika :'(

[syzygyful]

@scottmcg666 says "Unlike NASA in the 50's + 60's who dissected every animal (including monkeys) lucky enough to survive the trip home."

Not exactly true. Miss Baker flew in 1959 & died in 1984, having lived at the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama. I saw her many times when visiting the center.

Ham the Chimp flew in 1961 & died in 1983, having lived at the National Zoo in Washington DC.

[LittleWolfBindery]

They should send death row inmates to space on dangerous test missions. It would be much of a loss as they burn up on re-entry.

[hauntedmoviehouse]

It's sad because all living creatures deserve to live ... The same Cold War space race to build ICBM's that killed Laika -- was used to target Russian and American cities full of innocent humans too. People say "Laika was only a dog" but remember that our politics would have just as thoughtlessly murdered millions of humans too. And even if you defend her death with "the progress of Science" bluff -- Science would have been better and more humanely served TRYING to bring Laika back ALIVE!

[scottmcg666]

So many animals have been sacrificed, not just Laika. The Soviets so much bad press from Laika's death every future Soviet space critter was given hero status. The next space dog, Strelka, was bred and one of her pups given to Caroline Kennedy... the only Russian space monkey returned alive and was given to Castro as his personal pet. Unlike NASA in the 50's + 60's who dissected every animal (including monkeys) lucky enough to survive the trip home.

[RumlinV]

@scottmcg666 The horrific details of the work of NASA. I did not knew that.

[pedalz1115]

@RumlinV @scottmcg666 because what he's told you is wrong. For example Ham, the first hominid launched into outer space survived 17 years after his mission.

[nicolasbrn]

merci Laika

[CrazyCrewTheShow]

@RumlinV This is not NASA you idiot its the russian federal space agency.

[CitizenZon3]

@CrazyCrewTheShow read the comment who replied you before writing such an ignorant comment you douchebag

[virusdapimp]

@scottmcg666 Thats interesting, Strelka was bred :O Laika was just a random stray of the street :F

[scottmcg666]

@virusdapimp They were both random strays, as were all Russian space dogs. Strelka was bred as in she did some breeding and gave birth to a litter of pups. The Russians only used stray female dogs. Stray dogs don't have personality issues of spoiled housepets and cope better with stress. Female dogs don't lift their leg to pee so it's easier to contain in the weightless environment.

[nicolasbrn]

Je n'étais n'existais pas encore et pourtant . Merci Laika.

[nicolasbrn]

@scottmcg666 Je n'étais n'existais pas encore et pourtant . Merci Laika.

[nicolasbrn]

@scottmcg666 Je n'étais n'existais pas encore et pourtant . Merci Laika.

[rrmfg]

@scottmcg666 That monkey was Che Guevara!

[bobbycardona]

poor laika...also a living thing created by god....just to perish in the name of science...

[hophoplord]

@bobbycardona lol Soviets where atheists...

[Gilgamesh303]

son unos malditos pobre laika.

[Spikytheif]

to bad laika died after 5 months because the space ship snapped in half

[RumlinV]

@Spikytheif no month. Days.

[shawnkethley]

@RumlinV Not days. Hours.

- Laika was launched into space on Sputnik 2, Nov 3rd 1957 and died between five and seven hours into the flight from stress and overheating. Her true cause of death was not made public until October 2002; officials previously gave reports that she died when the oxygen supply ran out.

[shawnkethley]

Sputnik 2 was not designed to be retrievable, and Laika had always been intended to die. Enough food was provided for a seven-day flight and had planned to euthanize Laika with a poisoned serving of food on the final day.

Before the launch, one of the scientists (Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky) took Laika home to play with his children. He said, "I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live."

[shawnkethley]

Over five months later (after 2,570 orbits) Sputnik 2 disintegrated along with Laika's remains during re-entry (4-14-1958).

[RumlinV]

@shawnkethley

This film made in 1957. Immediately after the flight. So this all officially:)

[KantoIkari]

@RumlinV oficially means for you "we are in cold war so we need to act as cool as we can because the yankees are our enemy and we must pretend we beated them with this dog", right?

[jmpsmarty]

@RumlinV Aww Yea.

[Brownsc3]

@shawnkethley No, she died from stress and overheating.

[tf878]

@RumlinV No days. Laika died after 5 hours about. Because of the overheat. The separation from the last rocket stage failed, the air conditioning which was projected to start by the separation didn't start and Laika did overheat.

[omgitsviolet]

@RumlinV hours :(

[Quick090]

@RumlinV In fact, she died after 5 hours from the point the mission started...

[alekzander2010]

@Spikytheif she died in a few hours as soon as she reached space almost

the Food was posined and the temputure was too high

she would have died any way their was no way she could return

[igfe1632]

Румлин, не секрет, чем обусловлена Ваша любовь к космосу и соответствующей технике? И на панорамио у Вас много соответсвующих фотографий...

[RumlinV]

@igfe1632 Астрологи говорят что Водолеи не ровно дышат к технике и физике :) Так что это врожденное, а тут эти объекты все под боком, грех не интересоваться историей космонавтики.

[mastaODI56]

great i turn on the subs and there in russian
