chubbyfloreal: rainbow-squirrels-7: Laika: 1954-1957 Opportunity Rover: 2004-2019 Gross. What the Soviet Union did to Laika was evil. This is not a feel good sob story. They found a dog on the street and launched her into space, fully intending her to die. There were never plans to bring her back. I’ve been sad about oppy since I found out, and y’all know I have all the feelings about robots but laika was a living creature who would have suffocated scared and alone with no idea what was happening to her if she hadn’t died scared and alone of heatstroke first. Opportunity was amazing and did so much better than anyone thought she would and I’m so sad she’s gone. But laika isn’t the same thing. She wasn’t built for a purpose, she was a normal live dog whose life was taken from her. -- source link
