   The difference is that the dog 46 years ago (Laika) didn’t survive.

   It’s a sad story, especially for a dog person like me.

   True ’nuff. Just makes the pooch all the more heroic vis-a-vis our latecomer.

   I was scratching my head about this story, too.
   “In an upcoming National Geographic special, a Chinese astronaut re–enacts the flights of early space pioneers.”
