Good thing laika showed what was wrong so these two could live plus even more lives were made after that! Thank you laika..

So sad that laika was alone and hasnt the opportunity to Return Back Home and live a peaceful live.

The reason a human couldn’t go because they were testing if humans could go to space. I love the video and the dog!!! Please do more.

Proud to be russian! Nice documentary!

[@AlxzAlec]

The russians killed a 2 year old dog named laika by sending it to space, the cooling system broke and laika was stressed so it killed her, however they didn't make a system for her to land back to earth, and the soviets lied for nearly 50 years about how she actually died

[@TheReveSwift]

And yet they are proud when they are supposed to be ashamed

[@AlxzAlec]

@@TheReveSwift If they are proud to be Russian because of Laika or other animals sent to space by the Russians then I agree with you, but if it’s other things then No

So what's the reason for that dog barking?

[@StarWalkApp]

No one knows. Suddenly, she felt bad (even vomited), maybe the stress of the flight influenced her.

[@aureliaandris8240]

Apparently she saw a US basic satelite which was not of her fancy ... ... imagine orbiting for four times around earth being a dog ... you are fed up, you feel totally sick and you want to go for a wee ... you bark!!

[@anonymouspilot3654]

Do you guys know if Bella continued to bark and be anxious for the rest of the flight or did she ever stop and calm down?
