@beyondearth2100: In 1957, during the Space Race, a small stray dog named Laika was chosen for a mission no one could survive. She became the first living being ever sent into space, aboard Sputnik 2. 🐶🚀 Laika was not a hero by choice. She didn’t understand the mission, the fame, or the sacrifice. There was no plan to bring her back. Her journey helped humanity understand how living beings react in space… but it came at a terrible cost. Today, we remember Laika — not as an experiment, but as a symbol of the price paid for progress. #space #laika #sad #story #fyp
