@@tharme.17 how is that nice? poor Laika died in a state of panic when the cooling systems failed and didnt work. the poor thing died of being too hot stuck in a ball thousands of feet above where it can survive. only able to look into the stars hoping it makes it back safely.
Now i ate this chow... F*cks taste weird. Btw isnt this cabin getting hot? Like so hot?! Omigod i am burning, i am cooked alive!!! Just kill me!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I remember hearing that the scientist behind the dog experiment saying that he felt the knowledge gained from the experiment was not worth the waste of a life.
Here is his full quote "Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I’m sorry about it. We shouldn’t have done it. We did not learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog." - Oleg Gazenko
At a Moscow press conference in 1998 Oleg Gazenko, a senior Soviet scientist involved in the project, stated "The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We did not learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog...".
dogs die every day, mostly cuz of owners that doesnt give a damn about their dogs. This is an awesome short animation and it succedes in making you feel sad about the lonelines of the dog but i think we musnt focus on one dog
The upbeat music and art, while keeping the dog in a perpetual grimace: highlights how a dog cannot even begin to conceptualize what it just went through. To us, its experiencing the cosmos first hand. To a dog, its complete isolation, agony, followed by a fiery death
it cannot experience the cosmos since it has no concience herself. We must not suffer for a dog that didnt suffer any more than any other dog that dies on the street today
" For decades, the official line was that Laika had survived for seven days in orbit before dying painlessly. It wasn't until 2002 that the truth finally came out: Laika died in a state of panic when the capsule overheated just a few hours after Sputnik 2 was launched. "
I found him last month and was confused there was so much good content and so few subs. RU-vid has rectified that now though. I swear it was like 5-10k on New Year's Day
Laika's story, starting from a random stray doggo on the streets of Moscow, she was chosen for its ability's to survive the extreme cold and having little food as she was indeed born a stray doggo, she was put in an small cage that every few days was made more small, and given less and less food everyday to prepare her for Orbit, the Chief researcher brought Laika to his home a few days before launch to have Laika be with his children for Laika's last happy moments on earth, as he knew she might not come back, Laika was launched, from Laika's view it was an incredible force pushing against the floor of her cramped cabin, with massive amounts of shaking, then, the force and shaking stopped, and she was weightless, soon after looking around out her window panicking and looking at the place she once stood on, she was in orbit, after a few hours she felt it get suddenly hot, getting increasingly hotter, she started panicking, and after a few minutes, she passed out, never waking up, she is in dog heaven now. (Sorry if I got anything about the story wrong) Laika will forever be, the best doggo.
I was just watching the video wondering if this was from a space mission. Then I read the comments and started to cry from a RU-vid video for the first time in at least 2 years. This was too sad ):
She was such a good little girl sent off to space to die a horrible death in a fiery pit she couldn't escape from. I hope she's in some nice place now. Gosh, I'm crying now. She was just such a good girl and didn't deserve the ending she got.
@@literallystingy2858 I don't think we'll ever know for certain since it must have been said off the record. If you Google "До сих пор не пойму, кто я: «первый человек» или «последняя собака»" you will see it pop up here and there (admittedly, I may have anglicized the translation a little too much).
From what I have learned of Yuri, he was a madman (in good, and maybe some bad ways, but I use the term here as a positive) so this seems like something he could have said
Makes sense, the first woman in space was Tereshkova in 1963. People leave out the part the CIA has recordings of a female cosmonaut screaming she's on fire and her air was gone in 1961 making her less the first woman in space, and more the first one to survive.
"As I watch the home I grew up in grow smaller and smaller, I wonder, 'Did I make the right choice? Do the gods see me with favor? Will they take in and protect my family as they've done with others?' even now, I still do not I know."
@@jamesdavis9036 Bullshit. All the dogs were treated as heroes and are remembered till now by people. This video is actually a provement that we still remember. There are a lot of Soviet stories and books about dogs who sacrificed their lives for people. There are also a lot of stories about dogs who helped people to colonize North/South Pole and Alaska: people will always remember their part in building our civilization.
The fact that Laika was a street dog that was collected only for a mission I'd never return from, that she saw how the Earth was moving away nad that it seems that she ided in a state of panic, really makes me sad.
I never sobed and cried in my adult life , but this video made me discovered those feelings , I don't know why and I'm not just saying that for the memes , I really cried and sobbed like a baby , Thank you space cowboy .
@@lerenardo321 Yeah, best leave it for another time. Too many of these vids can lead to crippling depression. But it's too late for me so I watched all his vids. Just gonna sub now since im addicted, cant wait for my next hit.
You guys act like people who cannot be more far away from a depression and acting like u were bcs its "cool". Grow up and don't act like such pussys. "I never cried before in my life but that video got me" hahaha shut up jesus
The story of Laika is really sad in general. This video reminds me of Laika, which then makes me quite sad because that dog was sent into space all alone, ran out of oxygen and was never meant to return, and burned up on her way back down. It makes me want to never leave my dogs' side.
"They said all good dogs go to Heaven. And then, they had me boarding into the shuttle... Propelled Far from my chew toys, my favorite lamp post, the belly scratch of my master and my Earth stranded love, Bella. My Pomeranian beauty, you are probably howling in anguish, hoping for me to answer back. Farewell, existence."
"The first space pioneers sacrificed so much. They ventured beyond the warmth of their homeworld some to never return. Of course this was many millennia ago and what they did was no more different than cavemen banging rocks together"
Laika's capsule was sucked into a wormhole leading into a higher dimension, where she gained sentience and Godhood. While few memories remain of her time as a feral mutt in the Soviet Union, she still feels the fear and confusion she experienced as she was launched into the void. One day, she will make a homeward journey, and vengeance will be written in blood.
Man this animation makes me wanna cry the worst part about humanity is that we would do everything to get information about the unknown even sacrificing a life that’s scary
Laika orbited the Earth about 9 times before she died due to excessive heat and lack of oxygen, or whatever it was that created an unsurvivable environment. A quick and inexact count of orbits in this creation gives me about 9ish. If that was intentional, the Creator deserves recognition for that amount of attention to detail. A great homage to the Cosmopup!
I lost my dog when he had ran away and now I think when he died, did he look around in his last moments for me? I had him for 10 years, i miss him everyday
Łaika died both from suffocation and continuously rising temperatures. In space, it is extremely difficult to low the temperature inside the ship, therefore you need radiators. Imagine, that you are inside cosmic thermos - this is what the space vacuum in fact is.
A quick existential crisis can sometimes feel like briefly waking up from the dream that is my daily life. Thank you for your videos. Not trying to sound deep or edgy, just reflecting.
I remember when i was maybe 10 years old and i read about Laika. I cried thinking about that dog. I felt that humanity is evil. A small drop in the ocean and perhaps one of the least worst things humanity has done, but the thought still crushed me.
@etheral snake I have been tirelessly bragging on your channel and the amazing quality of it over the last year. i don't remember how i first stumbled upon it, but i'm glad i did. i member seeing your stuff and being like, "damn, how have i not seen this before?" then being blown away when you only had a few hundred followers. i thought surely this must just be someone's new channel? who comes out of nowhere with this new of a direction in art? this much quality content? i think you are the true media and comedy soul of these last few years. not funny, not complete absurdist, really the next new thing. gj.
Odd how you can feel so much sadness from the death of a thing you never personally have known. Incredible how the first living thing on earth to pierce its atmosphere and enter space was none other than man's best friend.
image all the pain psychological pain trauma that poor dog went and yet it may have had hope that one day id come back there are things humanity can not be forgiven for
I don’t know how but in mere seconds you manage to seize the power of emotion and sympathy to your advantage, creating a piece of media that conveys a message and conveys emotions understood despite a lack of context or explanation. We know the dog is damned to die in the abysmal infinite of the void as the unrelenting march of time passes with each cycle of the sun, reminding us that we too are mortal and that nothing is forever, even if the slow drudge to deaths door is perceived as such
4 years later, but what makes this even more tragic, is that if given the ability to understand the circumstances she would still have volunteered over someone that cared for her
This is my favourite animation from you. I love your work so much, the music, the style, it's just mesmerising. Though I'm not an animator, you inspire me to create in my own little world. Thank you for those truly special minutes you gave me with your work.
That hits hard,Thanking if it was you there you just know that you would not want to be isolated and send to your death and not have a choice, and did not do anything wrong. RIP, my you be remember forever
I don’t know.. but something here just hits me hard it feels as if this is us always drifting from places to places putting up a temporary facade and then just wandering feeling lost not knowing the true weight of what is happening to us feeling lost and lonely and slowly dying on the inside of the feeling of hopelessness and realizing what is going on until its to late and i dont think i can put this into words but this whole thing just makes me silently sob
"As i sit in my Pod, I know i'm not gonna go back home to see my family...Its getting hot......I wanna go home........But i know whats gonna happen next....I'm gonna die in space.......but for this time...I'm a Space Wanderer" Laika Moments Before Burning To death in outerspace..November 3, 1957
A dog can be just as lonely, bored, and depressed as a person alone in complete isolation. On missions they pack suicide pills for the astronauts to avoid this if something fails and they don't come back. Laika didn't have this luxury, and was forced to die slowly and clueless.
I'm russian. Before now I never heard about Laika. When I was a kid they never talked about Laika, they talked all the time about Belka ("Squirrel") and Strelka ("Little Arrow") who came back alive.
Aww man, this still makes me incredibly sad. I read the book some years back and cried at the end. Laika did NOT deserve the brief, but fucked up kind of life she lived.
Found this channel last night, and wow, I am in love with this video. The somber and existential vibes that it puts off are absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see more of your content in the future!
If they did that then western headline would be" Communists used their own citizens as a lab mouse" that's not a good repetition at the middle of an Ideology war. It would be a great propegand for anticommunists. USSR couldn't get ride out of it.
