Exploring
the life and death of one of the most famous dogs in history, LAIKA presents
a simple question: was the technological knowledge gained after the launch of
Sputnik II worth the loss a dog like Kudryavka? Abadzis presents the facts
with a detached kind of compassion, knitting together disparate narratives
with the unifying thread of Kudryavka’s story. Thoroughly researched, LAIKA
gives an intimate look at the people surrounding an event that would
ultimately change the world. This is a must-read for anyone who’s interested
in the history of spaceflight.
