The first cosmonaut in orbit was a dog on board of Sputnik 2, launched into outer space on November 3, 1957.

Before the launch, one of the scientists took Laika home to play with his children. In a book chronicling the story of Soviet space medicine, Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky wrote, "I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live.

Over five months later, after 2,570 orbits, Sputnik 2 — including Laika's remains — disintegrated during re-entry on April 14, 1958.

Daily reminder that Laika gave her life for a cheap Soviet space race victory, and little scientific knowledge was gained from it
