EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a historic moment in space exploration, forever etching the memory of Laika, the brave canine who paved the way for human astronauts. Taken from the Soviet daily Pravda on 13 November 1957, it showcases Laika aboard Sputnik II, making her the first living creature to venture into space. The launch of this Soviet spacecraft occurred on 3 November 1957 at Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. However, behind this groundbreaking achievement lies a tragic tale. Merely hours after liftoff, Laika succumbed to stress and overheating caused by a malfunctioning thermal control system. Her sacrifice serves as a somber reminder of the risks and challenges faced during early space missions. In this close-up shot, we witness Laika's innocent face peering out from within her cramped quarters—a square-shaped capsule that would orbit Earth for several hours before tragedy struck. This image encapsulates both hope and heartbreak; an emblematic representation of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and its cost. As we reflect upon this photograph today, let us remember Laika as more than just an astronautic pioneer but also as a symbol of courage and sacrifice—her legacy forever imprinted in our quest to unravel the mysteries beyond our planet's atmosphere.
