SPACE DOG-sputnik 2

It is the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 2 which contained the first living creature in space. Laika, the space dog. I made this cartoon to celebrate that historic day.

Man that was kick ass as always! I always appreciate the great detail you got to. Like from 00:45 to 00:51, where you have the closer earth & moon moving as if in a 3D environment. They move in different ways than the distant stars. Gawd I suck at explaining this lol. At any rate, fantastic man!

[SpockBoy]

No, you explained it perfectly. I know EXACTLY what you mean, and thanks for noticing!

I really appreciate the feedback.

[SpockBoy]

thanks buddy.

Laika only lived for a few hours. The Russian scientist that worked on this project said that Laika didn't even survive traveling 3 times around the Earth (probably not even 2 full times), but back when it was actually happening, the Russian's lied to the World and said she survived for many days. They falsified her heart beats each day for the public to hear and said she was doing okay. I'm glad the truth finally came out. That poor dog.

Yes she died of overheating and stress within a couple of hours and then was cremated when the capsule burned up on re-entry. I don't know what was learned from this but it was primates next, and plenty of them. Some of the USA monkeys made it home again. Alpha, now stuffed and on display (film Night at the museum 2) survived to die undergoing surgery to remove an infected electrical sensor. I'm sure he/she would have prefered a bit of fruit and some sunshine instead. My respect to them.

She died when the sputnik fel out of orbit and from such high speed the sputnik built up heat from the friction of the air over the capsule and it sadly incinerated Laika.

it's good to know that some people like you take the time to do this kind of videos.

very good work, laika deserves more videos like this.

So...It was one way ticket huh...

@SaganAppreciationSoc I agree w/ you. And you know what? I'd better had no knowledge about space rather than sacrificing a dog

[saarloswolfhound]

@umahuma4 No, tsukakunzack is correct. She did have food and water, but she died of stress and overheating. There's a malfunction in the satellite so the heat is only available in Laika's cabin. The cabin got too hot and there it goes

[saarloswolfhound]

@PinkberryFairbanks So what if Laika's a stray? It doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to live. You're a moron without feelings!! You're not a human. Ypu should think of you were Laika. I'd better have no knowledge in astronomy than sending a dog to space to DIE!!! Moron
