Laika ,who is a dog, becomes first passenger into space on the USSR's Sputnik II. NASA sends a chimp into space after the USSR sends two dogs into space. In April of 1961, the USSR sends Yuri Gargarin, a human, into space.

The Russians have some cool dogs.
Always, always, always a capital letter on America!
It's nice to see renewed interest in Space travel. When the History Channel documents space travel they will need to add India to the list. India has recently announced an intent to launch a manned spacecraft in the very near future. MB
