first satellite, first animal, first man, first woman, first lunar probe, first space station, first to Venus too even. not to discount the moonlanding,it's still cool humans went to the moon, but the Soviets very much smashed the yanks in the space race
Anyone in the LA area should check out the "Museum of Jurassic Technology". It is kind of fun parodying early museums when they were personal collections of European lords and had no "fact checking" but there is a cool room with a portrait of every dog sent into space.
That's not what happened. Laika overheated and died in pain hours into the flight. It was pure animal cruelty. But hey, that's why they used a dog instead of a human!
