skunkbear:A very furry story from the history of the space race! Khrushchev’s move strikes me as brilliant: half, “we may be engaged in a cold war, but we’re still human!” and half, “the dogs we sent to space are already having babies. How’s NASA coming along?”Apparently, Pushinka (which means “fluffy" in Russian) was examined before arriving at the White House to check for listening devices.Images: Daniel Mogford/Flickr, Ralphdj/Wikimedia Commons, The John F.
