Belka and Strelka were the first animals to go in space, orbit the Earth, and return home alive. After their adventure in space they lived peaceful happy lives. Every time I read about them and see their pictures it makes me smile. It’s incredible to think this was achieved in the 60s.
I also read somewhere that the kitty rocket ship (named ‘the Millennium Meow’) almost missed landing on the moon. They managed to get back on their charted course in time, but they only did it in a whisker of time.
