Laika’s Window positions Laika as a long overdue hero for leading the way to human space exploration. Only in recent decades has the real story become public: Laika died after only a few hours in orbit when her capsule overheated. People believed that Laika died a painless death as her oxygen ran out. Initially the USSR reported that Laika, the first animal to orbit the earth, had survived in space for seven days, providing valuable data that would make future manned space flight possible. Laika began her life as a stray dog on the streets of Moscow and died in 1957 aboard the Soviet satellite Sputnik II.
