Who or what was the first living creature to orbit the Earth?
Correct answer: Laika the Dog
TheArtCType
this is horribly sad. was it not bad enough the poor thing was homeless. I'm sure there was some pedofile or killer they could have sent up.
WonderfulGorilla5937
they should start sending murderers, sereil killers, child molesters etc... no one will miss them

So ginuea pig Laika has died and dead body in craft still monitored for 5mths?!?! WtF
Guaranteed if 5, 15 or 50years watching his dead body, 'scientists' would still sleep good at night Cruel 'experiment'

I never knew this I’ve heard about Laika but wasn’t aware of the deets oh how I wish I continued to not know how very very heart breaking poor dog if they really wanted to know they should have had a volunteer who could speak that would be honoured posthumously & family cared for etc but oh no as usual the animals that can’t voice their objections to the injustice have to be exploited. Humans really are the worst animals on the planet!

TheArtCType, I a pedophile or anything like a serial killer were sent to space instead of Leika the dog as a first living creature to leave earth would be like a great reward for him.

Once again an innocent animal suffered at the hands of mankind, on a lighter note……it was really funny when Homer Simpson went to Space!!!!!

Bone,
To get into orbit you need to overcome gravity. This means you need to be travelling at what is known as escape velocity. This is approximately 7 miles per second. Gives about 25000 mph .
Orbit in about an hour

1957. Soviet Union. They preferred to keep their human torture experiments at ground zero, to observe the effects of the intentional abuse and fine tune it for their enemies.
