Dog to Space
from Stories beneath the Stars Hosted by Micah Wullschleger
The Space Race was a 20th Century competition between the USA and the USSR about who could be the first to get spaceflight capability. Our podcast is about Laika the Dog. She was a dog that was from the streets of Moscow, and in our story it talks about how she played a key role in Russia’s Space Program. Laika was the first animal to orbit the Earth which generated more interest into space exploration. Not only was Laika’s mission a huge step forward for Russia, but it posed an opportunity for both countries about pushing the boundaries of spaceflight capability.
