Summary: Laika, an abandoned stray, is picked for the Soviet space program in the 1950s. Her story is woven with those of Korolev, a former political prisoner now driving the program as its chief engineer, and Yelena, the lab technician who cares for Laika. This Eisner Award-winning graphic novel blends fact and fiction to tell how the first animal reached orbit around Earth.
