Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We shouldn't have done it ... We did not learn enough from this mission to justify the death of the dog.
—Oleg Gazenko, one of the scientists who worked on Sputnik 2
I disagree, Mr. Gazenko. The Soviet Union learned the incredibly valuable lesson that if you lock a dog in a hot box, it dies. Truly valuable science.
They also learned that living beings do not die from being weightless and the general conditions in space. This was not so clear at this time.
I love being a lab mouse, I can't wait until this study is over so I can retire at my favorite scientist's home.
Bro, how many monkeys score a gig at an Elon Musk company!? He's going to make me so smart and successful!
Holy shit...
Oh no.... why'd you have to turn on the feels this morning?
And he came back down from space and played and ate steaks and still does to this day and will live forever, god damn it. 😭
