Asterion Talks on Instagram: "Laika was not trained for glory or applause — she was a stray chosen at the dawn of the Space Age, sent into the unknown aboard Sputnik-2 in 1957. As the first living being to orbit Earth, her mission proved that a body could survive launch, weightlessness, and orbital flight, laying the biological groundwork for human space travel.
