Laika is mentioned but this seems to depict Dezik and Tsygan, who made a sub orbital flight and returned.

[@wolfy_playzyt5502]

Guys we wish laika is alive

[@GURken]

Don't be confused, this film is a reconstruction, not a documentary.

[@aleksandarkovackovic8876]

THIS is not Laika,THIS is Belka or Strelka,Laika did never return on Earth,she is died in Sputnik 2!

[@arcadia.2937]

That is laika but this story is different

[@Bluepup007]

Didn't Laika die from overheating?

[@Sergei5457]

Katie Lavelle Murray Unfortunatly yes. :( Could war... It was secret.

[@DaviLu]

so the landing is completely fake too? :D

[@Sergei5457]

Yes. Yes... The USSR at that time was desperately bluffing. Although he had nuclear weapons, but there was almost no reliable means of delivery. The US was far ahead in this part. Belka (Squirrel) and Strelka (Arrow) are Soviet dog-cosmonauts, the first animals who performed an orbital space flight and returned to Earth alive. The flight took place on the orbital ship "Sputnik-5". The launch took place on August 19, 1960, the flight lasted more than 25 hours, during this time the ship made 17 full turns around the Earth.

[@Bluepup007]

Even the actual photo of Laika is different compared to the dog in the film.

[@mebanks-smith9079]

Yes. That why I don't like Russia

[@oo_satou_oo9763]

*THIS ISNT LAIKA*

[@NebulaRanger]

This footage is not of Laika.

[@DaviLu]

0:44 looks soo fake!

[@LambdaMMXI]

you can see a string attached to the top haha

[@GURken]

nobody would have shown you at that time a real footage of a rocket

[@LambdaMMXI]

I can understand that thanks for the heads up. I find it funny because of how we think of old news being more reliant and true

[@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui]

It’s a model reconstruction.

[@sarcodonblue2876]

So evil that humans would do this to an animal

[@CoolCademMAnimates-fz1ui]

It’s the Russian government. What did you expect?
