my god animal rights cry babys.. honestly you dont hear from the stray dog that died on the streets you hear abou the one that whent into space this happend in 1957 and its still a marvelous achevment i would have been glad to make history and die as first lifefrom from earth into space laika was a street dog they found starving so they gave it a home and sent into space proving that stray dogs are equal to other dogs that are pampered or just a regular household. so really.., laika was lucky...
i liked not cause it was good or important to send anyone in space, especcialy a dog, i likeed, because laika was betrayed and killed by cruel people, and this is kinda like a reminder of her, what i wanted to say, fuck you all who send animals in space, ill put you on a rocker and send to space, then we would see whos in pain and how cruel it was!!!!!! PIECES OF SHIT RUSSIANS!!!! HOPE YOU ALL FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@RainyMoodGames SHUT THE FUCK UP! look at fucking NASA! many years later Belka and Strelka (2 dogs) were launched by the russians and came back safely, and NASA at that time FUCKING WASTED a ton of chimps in shuttles that exploded after take off! who are we going to blade?
It's funny how people say she's a hero. Dogs have no concept of "heroism." For her, she was betrayed and murdered by the people who cared for her. She died alone, scared and in pain. For everyone saying that it's better to send a dog than a human: when you think about it, what's the point of sending a living thing into space anyway? You don't need a living thing inside a satellite to have it function! We are not meant to travel up there. If we were, there'd be vital resources out there!
So true , WickedRavenOne. Poor Laika's telemetry told us her blood pressure and heart rate were sky high. She was terrified, all alone and in her little dog mind, was bewildered at this treatment by the very people she had grown to trust. She is believed to have died because her cabin overheated in frigid space. How terribly sad.
Poor dog! Humans are cruel idiots. Don't send a sweet innocent dog. Send murderers and serial killers and cannibals instead of paying millions of dollars on their life sentences. But a sweet little dog? WTF, man?!!!
@paLLfuckaLL She also had the greatest honor that anything could ever have on this planet. She was the first living thing in space. Alot better than dying on the streets like she would have done. She will be remembered in history not just another dead dog.
@GunRyd3r I don't mean to be rude, but you say the "greatest honor that anything could ever have on this planet"... like the dog understood that! If it's such an "honor" then why didn't they send a HUMAN who has the CHOICE and UNDERSTANDING?? She was an innocent victim, and it was NO honor to her; it was terrifying and cruel. RIP Laika <3
@GunRyd3r Nope, not saying you're cruel, it's just sad how she was terrified the whole time and then died. It's like sending an innocent toddler with no understanding; it was wrong. So no, it wasn't an honor at all for her. The only people to appreciate that it's an honor would be ones willing to go up and do it themselves. It was cruel what they did to her.
@gymnast4life15 She served more of a purpose then you know. If all people were close minded pussies like you then civilization wouldn't have come as far as it has. We wouldn't have satellites so you can come online and preach your winy ass opinion. i would never risk a member of my own race over a dog. Humans have been killed in space as well as animals. Go cry to someone else you little bitch, I seriously don't give a fuck about a person who cares about animals over humans.
I don't feel upset at all because it's science, but since I'm a dog person I would of had them send off a pig or a monkey. Also, I want that howl at the end as my ringtone! :)
at 1:23 could thers be the last wimpers of laika? :'o THOESE DAMN IDITOTIC SCIENTISTS SHOULD ROT AND LIE STINKING IN THE EARTH IM FUCKING CRYING WHILE TYPING THIS THIS HURTS SO FUCKING BAD D': CUNTING RUSSIAN SPEACE CENTER SHOULD BURN DOWN
What a dire way to die, and what a depressing, pointless cause to die FOR. The furthering of mankind and his "knowledge"? Fuck off. When mankind works out how to live humanely on THIS planet, then maybe there'll be a reason for him to fuck around with others. As it is, we still can't properly feed our poor, or cure our sick, or get clean water to millions of kids. Ss sending a nice, innocent dog into space to be incinerated certainly solved all our problems eh? I repeat: Fuck off.
@AgrivatedKillah Actually, I'm not complaining about mankind's "quest for knowledge"; I'm complaining about certain aspects of said search, i.e. moronic prioritising, and the "running before you can walk" attitude that seems rather too prevalent to me. Read my comment again, you'll see what I was trying to say.
Oh, and btw, I'm not an idiot. :) Just expressing an opinion.
@geno2k3. are you fucking serious? you have no idea about the sanctity of life. well done pal. 'so a dog died in space'. what a fucking wanker you are.
@geno2k3 Sputnik2 was not built to come back to earth, its like a death sentence to a dog. If they want to experiment they go themselves. Its cruelty, nobody not even an animal deserves to die that tragic.
Just becasue we are more ''intelligent'' then animals doesn't mean they should be used for tests. And no, I rather have nobody take her place, not even herself.
@geno2k3 As sad as it sounds, geno is in fact correct. Before slamming him with your internet nonsense you should think just for a second about what he is saying. Someone had to test on a living animal before we sent a living person. This was a breakthrough in science! The US has also tested many space projects with living things in the capsules. This was a time when they were still testing re-entry equipment. And chambers made for suitable flight.
poor laika... when i watch movies and see people die, I don't really care, but when a dog dies whether its a movie or its in real life.. i pity it so much... I wonder why... Laika.. REST IN PEACE
@StealthBlade7 yea I totally understand you!! when I see animals, mostly dogs die in movies or in real life, I'm about to cry.. but when ppl die I don't care.. same as you :(
@Nicholasdude187 no!! You got it all wrong! read my comment all over again so you can fully understand before posting shit! I SAID IN MOVIES! NOT IN REAL LIFE! in real life, i can show the same pity depending on the animal or the human's attitude towards me. think of it! Dying people can be commonly seen in movies and next time you see one dying in a film YOU WONT GIVE A SHIT! because you know that they are still alive in real life! YOU SIR IS A RETARDED PIECE OF SHIT AND NEEDS TO GET A LIFE.
@StealthBlade7 Oh wow missed out on one word and totally misunderstood you. No need to yell and post some big ass message. You could of simply told me I misunderstood what you wrote. No need to write like a screaming 14 year old trying to prove a point.
@StealthBlade7 it's probably because we inflict that suffering on them and they have little knowledge of what's going on, or are too helpless to fight back. I know exactly what you mean- when I see animals suffer I just lose it.
@localSickened Actually Laika survived for several hours. She was in a small, confined cage specifically designed to hold her in place so that she would't break her neck. She died from the extreme heat but not until she had circled the Earth several times
Poor baby!Is that her crying at 1:32?This just breaks my heart.She was an international hero...supposedly every dogs hero.What are brave dog.They should make a movie about this.
It is said the soviets intended to send human beings on a suicide mission into space in 1958. But then they would've released that information in Glasnost, right? ... right? Goddam USSR secrecy.
Fuckin bastards! Sending an innocent animal into space...Humanity's inhumanity is endless...stupidity also...fuck You all....Laaaika! LAAAAAIKA! ....F...in pigs......LAIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Soviet leader Khrushchev ordered Laika's spacecraft launched and the designers did not have time to figure out a recovery system - yes, she was destined to die in space.
@nightdevil22666 She died in the name of science and the futherment of space exploration. They wanted to see if it was feasible to send a living being into space and have a living being sustain life for an extended period of time. Laika didn't die in vain.
Non capisco ancora come si possa aver mandato a morte un cane in questo modo, l' esperimento di Laika non è servito a nulla, è stata solo una barbarie. Laika non è morta dopo qualche giorno ma addirittura dopo circa 5 ore perchè non è riuscita a reggere il trauma del viaggio... Povera cagna ma perchè non le avete lasciato vivere la sua vita?
Your teacher is wrong. Laika traveled in space decades before the space shuttle program and never came back to earth. She died in space. Eventually her space capsule lost altitude, burned during re-entry into earth's atmosphere. And that's the truth!
@laikaspace Were they unable to recover any part of the space craft? I read somewhere that apparently Laika had plenty of food and water when she was in Sputnik 2 (personally, I'm unsure how that would work) but if it's true, what killed her? And when did the space capsule finally enter the atmosphere again?
Laika had enough food and water (in an automatic feeder) to last a week to ten days. Most people now think she died within a few hours due to severe heat and anxiety, although the only thing we know for sure is that her signal was lost after the third orbit. Her spacecraft gradually lost altitude and re-entered earth atmosphere in April 1958 (six months after launch), burned upon re-entry.
@laikaspace Thank you for giving this information. ^__^
The reason why I found it odd for her to have food and water, was because there was (obviously) no gravity in space. I just assumed the weightless water would prove to be difficult for the dog to consume.
@coakster3m did your teacher also tell you that the world was created in 7 days? ;)
Laika's spacecraft orbited the earth over 2,000 times before its orbit degraded and it plummeted to earth. Laika was looooong dead before that. They now say she only lived 5 or so hours in space.
,,, Not to mention that the space shuttle program was decades after Laika's flight. Your teacher must have been from Tennessee.
They found Laika on the street, then they fucking made her fly to space, and die. It's like taking a fucking toddler and sending him to space, why won't you do that instead? I mean, it's a human being, we suck dick. I bet other peaceful civilizations somewhere in space are laughing at us because we are so fucking stupid.
@XinayShin They chose a stray because stray dogs in Moscow were already used to intense cold and starvation. I know it sucks but atleast they chose to honour her memory. I'm not on their side but still, atleast chose a fucking monkey or hamster!
The USA and Russia have slaughtered thousands of animals for space testing.
monkeys, dogs mostly.
but the space race aren't the only ones whom slaughtered animals
Edison used to electrcute cats to show off his new inventions. and lets also thank the folks at Dupont for the thousands of dogs (mostly beagles) whom died and suffered for the purpose of testing.
@bugsycline shut up, humans are animals like any other creature on earth. if that dog fell into a lion or gorila pit at a zoo it would have been horribly killed and eaten. on the other hand it is fucked up doing tests on the most caring and trusting of animals. when i heard the transmision of the dog barking from space i wished i could strap one of those assholes into a tiny piece of metal and shoot them into space, but then i remembered they are dead
@bugsycline Well, the people who treat animals that way do. The nice people don't really deserve it. don't you think? I really don't like being born as a human because I feel so guilty that humans are destroying what we should appreciate. I DESPISE animal testing. Animal abusers should be shot off into space and left with NO food or water. What has animals done to us to deserve this?
I cried at the story of Laika, I was always aware of her story but when I seen it in more depth I cried. I'm usually pretty unshakeable but she was just a poor little dog. I like to think her last thoughts were of the day that one scientist took her home to play with his children, it was probably the happiest day of her life. When they bolted sputnik 2 shut she would have still completely trusted those scientists, thats the real tragedy, betraying the trust of Laika.
I read the Graphic Novel about this... The way the author portrayed it made me tear up a fair bit... In Language Arts class... I'm a guy, and I sit next to a guy who never shows his emotions... I hid them until I got home to type it out here. And now, I don't have to hide anything.
Before Laika was a Space Dog, she was a stray living on the streets of Moscow, she probably would have frozen to death during the freezing Russian winter or just have been shot by somebody. The Russians turned Laika into a hero before she died.
I was reading about Laika yesterday- she was never intended to return- her body stayed in orbit for months before disintegrating upon re-entry. She only had enough food for one week, and Sputnik 2 had been designed and built in only 4 weeks. There was so much more they could have done for her.
Perhaps back in 1957 they knew that humankind would overpopulate itself to the point that we would need 2 or 3 planets to continue to sustain us as today. No matter though...we always seem to sacrifice the innocent and unable to speak for themselves. Thankfully we have people that do speak up for those "voiceless" animals and people. And, rockinfortheplanet, you are one of the loudest and best voices anyone could ask for to educate us all. Keep up the good work you are all doing. Peace !!!!
Dezik, Tsygan and Lisa were the first dogs to reach space in 1951. Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth.
Americans, however were first to launch animals into space. Rhesus monkey Albert II reached 134 km in a V2 rocket, and before that fruit flies were apparently sent to space.
Sputnik 2 was so rushed (because Khruschev wanted it by the holiday) that half the systems failed and poor Laika roasted slowly to death when the life support gave out.
Soo sad, it would NOT happen today with the animal rights laws. I think they did it just for proproganda to say/show it could be done, i bet they didn't learn a thing? Where is Laika's grave by the way, since she gave her life it should be in a prominent place?
one of the scientists had said that they did not learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog--pretty sad huh- I've never read of they dedicating any grave space for her, only the memorial that was erected on the 11th of this month.
The reply is untrue, the Monument to the Conquerors of Space in Moscow (1964) has Laika in her capsule at the center the rest of the cosmonauts to come.
Do a google image search for "Monument to the Conquerors of Space" and you will see poor Laika. The monument is quite beautiful also.
i've always felt that prisoners/kilers should be used for all this horrendous testing that is done on animals. Why support someone in prison for the rest of their life-useless..
Useless humans would be far more accurate for these tests than the poor animals. I have far more sympathy for helpless animals than the rutheless people that mistreat them.
In total darkness and chained so she could not turn around, her heart took 3 times longer to rest after launch than a centrifuge ride; she died from extreme overheating and panic just a few hours after the mission started.
The space coffin full of her rotting juices took 5 months to return to earth.
i know those heartless basterds just found laika on the street and one guy took her home so she would get ''rewarded'' for dying...WHY COULDN'T THEY SEND A HUMAN THAT WAS COMMITING SUICIDE? IT WOULD HAVE MADE LAIKA LIFE HER LIFE AND THE PERSON THAT WANTED TO KILL THEMSELF WOULDN'T DIE FOR NO REASON...AND THOSE BASTERDS NEW SHE WAS GONNA DIE CUZ THEY BUILT THE STUPID SHUTTLE KNOWING IF U GO IN U CAN'T COME OUT EVER AGAIN...Laika died from the heat and not enough oxegyn...:'(
oh man...it's kinda sad how people get heartless . they don't even think how laika would suffer a horrible death. i wish the scientists didn't sleep at night because of their conscience...
Scientists don't just do testing on animals just to be cruel, they do it because it's the best way to perform their research. If there were some way to get the information they are after, without the use of animals, since so many deem it morally questionable, they would. But they don't have such an option in the modern day, and they certainly didn't in the 1950's.
You certainly can't assume it would change my current beliefs if you don't know what my current beliefs are. Here's a sampling: animal experimentation has yielded tremendous progress for life on the planet, this is why in the last 100+ years, 70+ Nobel prizes have gone to scientists conducting research on animals; this research has given us almost all medical advances, ever. These currently benefit both humans and animals. None of this is true of racism or sexism, so they aren't analogous.
You assume that the Nobel committee is the last word, and also unbiased. Neither of which is the case. It's a bit ironic considering the reason why Nobel even created the prize- to make up for all the death he caused. If you're intellectually honest, drop me an email address and i'll send you the article from Skeptic mag. From there you can read "Sacred Cows and Golden Geese: The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals", written by a human MD and animal DVM team. Worth a look.
I'd be willing to read the article, but you don't need my email, send it to me through the youtube email/message function. It would be nice to finally get a message through it that didn't say "Hey I like your stuff, now here's a link to my porn." That said, because 2 doctors wrote something against animal testing certainly doesn't prove they're right, surveys seem to indicated that 95% of physicians think animal testing is essential.
Yeah, um, maybe you shouldn't talk down, it's not like I have some way of knowing what file format some unknown individual on the internet has some copy of some article in. In any case, you don't have to cut and paste the file, so the format is of no consequence, cut and paste the contents (as in the text itself), that can be pasted into youtube email with no trouble. I've done it before so I'm pretty sure it can be done.
It's a formatted PDF document straight from the publishers, so conversion to plain ASCII text would make it a bit less coherent; IE., lack of graphics and formatting.
Also YouTube severely limits message length. This would far exceed that limit.
Since you're unwilling to mail me an E-address i can email it to, i can see if YouSentIt can hold the file and i'll post the URL up here. youtube tries to filter URLs out but we'll figure something out.
Actually, according to Soviet documents uncovered after the fall of the USSR, Laika died in the boost phase due to a failure of heat and radiation shields. She never reached orbit; the signals seem to have been faked.
Can you verify this information? Is there a source online that says this? So much of Soviet space history has changed over the years, but this is the first time I've heard this one - would like to know where you got this info. Thanks.

Non capisco ancora come si possa aver mandato a morte un cane in questo modo, l' esperimento di Laika non è servito a nulla, è stata solo una barbarie. Laika non è morta dopo qualche giorno ma addirittura dopo circa 5 ore perchè non è riuscita a reggere il trauma del viaggio... Povera cagna ma perchè non le avete lasciato vivere la sua vita?

@coakster3
Your teacher is wrong. Laika traveled in space decades before the space shuttle program and never came back to earth. She died in space. Eventually her space capsule lost altitude, burned during re-entry into earth's atmosphere. And that's the truth!
laikaspace 1 year ago
@laikaspace Were they unable to recover any part of the space craft? I read somewhere that apparently Laika had plenty of food and water when she was in Sputnik 2 (personally, I'm unsure how that would work) but if it's true, what killed her? And when did the space capsule finally enter the atmosphere again?
Kittywhiskers1000 1 year ago
@Kittywhiskers1000
Laika had enough food and water (in an automatic feeder) to last a week to ten days. Most people now think she died within a few hours due to severe heat and anxiety, although the only thing we know for sure is that her signal was lost after the third orbit. Her spacecraft gradually lost altitude and re-entered earth atmosphere in April 1958 (six months after launch), burned upon re-entry.
laikaspace 1 year ago
@laikaspace Thank you for giving this information. ^__^
The reason why I found it odd for her to have food and water, was because there was (obviously) no gravity in space. I just assumed the weightless water would prove to be difficult for the dog to consume.

Laika's spacecraft orbited the earth over 2,000 times before its orbit degraded and it plummeted to earth. Laika was looooong dead before that. They now say she only lived 5 or so hours in space.
,,, Not to mention that the space shuttle program was decades after Laika's flight. Your teacher must have been from Tennessee.

monkeys, dogs mostly.
but the space race aren't the only ones whom slaughtered animals

I cried at the story of Laika, I was always aware of her story but when I seen it in more depth I cried. I'm usually pretty unshakeable but she was just a poor little dog. I like to think her last thoughts were of the day that one scientist took her home to play with his children, it was probably the happiest day of her life. When they bolted sputnik 2 shut she would have still completely trusted those scientists, thats the real tragedy, betraying the trust of Laika.

I was reading about Laika yesterday- she was never intended to return- her body stayed in orbit for months before disintegrating upon re-entry. She only had enough food for one week, and Sputnik 2 had been designed and built in only 4 weeks. There was so much more they could have done for her.

It was estimated that Laika died after 5 to 7 hours in orbit from stress and heat. She was in an extremely confined area. May Laika rest in peace.

She died because human beings are never satisfied with what they have.
Humanity always wants more and is prepared to use everything up on this beautiful planet and then go looking for a new place to trash.
Animals are sadly used for whatever purpose human beings decide for them, for good or bad.

Perhaps back in 1957 they knew that humankind would overpopulate itself to the point that we would need 2 or 3 planets to continue to sustain us as today. No matter though...we always seem to sacrifice the innocent and unable to speak for themselves. Thankfully we have people that do speak up for those "voiceless" animals and people.

Dezik, Tsygan and Lisa were the first dogs to reach space in 1951. Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth.
Americans, however were first to launch animals into space. Rhesus monkey Albert II reached 134 km in a V2 rocket, and before that fruit flies were apparently sent to space.

In total darkness and chained so she could not turn around, her heart took 3 times longer to rest after launch than a centrifuge ride; she died from extreme overheating and panic just a few hours after the mission started.

Scientists don't just do testing on animals just to be cruel, they do it because it's the best way to perform their research. If there were some way to get the information they are after, without the use of animals, since so many deem it morally questionable, they would. But they don't have such an option in the modern day, and they certainly didn't in the 1950's.

SaganAppreciationSoc 3 years ago
You certainly can't assume it would change my current beliefs if you don't know what my current beliefs are. Here's a sampling: animal experimentation has yielded tremendous progress for life on the planet, this is why in the last 100+ years, 70+ Nobel prizes have gone to scientists conducting research on animals; this research has given us almost all medical advances, ever. These currently benefit both humans and animals. None of this is true of racism or sexism, so they aren't analogous.
hobofactory 3 years ago 4
You assume that the Nobel committee is the last word, and also unbiased. Neither of which is the case. It's a bit ironic considering the reason why Nobel even created the prize- to make up for all the death he caused. If you're intellectually honest, drop me an email address and i'll send you the article from Skeptic mag. From there you can read "Sacred Cows and Golden Geese: The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals", written by a human MD and animal DVM team. Worth a look.
SaganAppreciationSoc 3 years ago
I'd be willing to read the article, but you don't need my email, send it to me through the youtube email/message function. It would be nice to finally get a message through it that didn't say "Hey I like your stuff, now here's a link to my porn." That said, because 2 doctors wrote something against animal testing certainly doesn't prove they're right, surveys seem to indicated that 95% of physicians think animal testing is essential.

Yeah, um, maybe you shouldn't talk down, it's not like I have some way of knowing what file format some unknown individual on the internet has some copy of some article in. In any case, you don't have to cut and paste the file, so the format is of no consequence, cut and paste the contents (as in the text itself), that can be pasted into youtube email with no trouble. I've done it before so I'm pretty sure it can be done.
hobofactory 3 years ago
It's a formatted PDF document straight from the publishers, so conversion to plain ASCII text would make it a bit less coherent; IE., lack of graphics and formatting.
Also YouTube severely limits message length. This would far exceed that limit.
Since you're unwilling to mail me an E-address i can email it to, i can see if YouSentIt can hold the file and i'll post the URL up here. youtube tries to filter URLs out but we'll figure something out.
