jtotheizzoe: Laika, the first dog (and living creature) sent into space, finally gets a happy ending. Laika was a stray wandering the streets of Moscow when she was found by Russian scientists and trained to test Sputnik 2’s life support systems. The only catch was that she wouldn’t be coming back. A 2007 book called Laika told her story, but it, too, ended tragically (just like the real story). People didn’t like that, even though it was true. They wished they could change the space-dog’s fate. Well, the author has started to do just that, publishing alternate endings on the web to honor Laika’s memory in a happy way. (via Discovery News)
