Wed, 9 March 2016, 4:18 pm: Some animal rights activists would protest the living hell out of sending dogs into space— especially on one of the missions where it’s understood the dog will never come home alive— but those nancys should look at the big picture. These critters are pioneers! Laika will never be forgotten. Any dog can crap in the backyard and bark every time a squirrel drops an acorn. How many dogs can orbit the earth?
I wish some of my inconsiderate Arcadia neighbors would send THEIR dogs into space, but this post isn’t about rude townspeople who don’t care about my desire for a quiet Saturday morning on my own back porch. It’s about the London Science Museum’s awesome “Cosmonauts” exhibition.
