The First Woman in Space
Lika became a hero in the Soviet Union. She was on badges and postcards she even had her own chocolate bar named after her. Luckily other space dogs did return to earth alive and well as did Ham and Enos who were two space chimps sent up by the Americans. In 1961 Yuri Gagarin was launched into orbit aboard Vostok 1 but he wasn't sure where he was going to land so he took a knife and a gun with him. He landed safely back in the Russian countryside although it didn't go that well because his parachute got caught in his underpants. The first words any woman said in space were I am seagull.
