Soviet Space Dog, " The Reluctant Tailor " BBC, Part. 1
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Wikipedia Info cut: During the 1950s and 1960s the USSR used dogs for sub-orbital and orbital space flights to determine whether human spaceflight was feasible. In this period, the Soviet Union launched missions with passenger slots for at least 57 dogs. The number of dogs in space is smaller, as some dogs flew more than once. Most survived; the few that died were lost mostly through technical failures, according to the parameters of the test. A notable exception is Laika, the first dog to be sent into orbit, whose death was expected from the outset.

Very sad, how humans exploit and abuse other species because they're too cowardly to take the risks themselves.
