On November 3, 1957, a stray mongrel from the streets of Moscow made history. Selected for the Soviet Union's Sputnik 2 mission, Laika became the first living creature to orbit the Earth.
Her journey paved the way for human spaceflight, providing scientists with the first real data on how living organisms react to the zero-gravity environment of space.
Today, $LAIKA immortalizes her brave spirit on the blockchain. From the streets of Moscow to the cosmos, Laika lives forever in the stars.
