Hey!
The first “person” in space was a dog!
Laika, who orbited the Earth in 1957,
on the Russian spacecraft “Sputnik,”
gave her life (albeit not by her own choice) to prove that a living creature could survive lift-off and going into orbit…..
though we now know that she didn’t live much longer than that.
She wore a bag for waste….
so she probably smelled no worse and whined less than a human astronaut.
