"Gentlemen . . . this will be Laika's vessel! The first spacecraft . . . Sputnik II! There are still problems, but we'll solve them. Even on such a tight schedule!" "How will the satellite return to earth?" "It won't. . . . There is no return option." Here are the intertwined stories of Korolev, the driven engineer at the top of the Soviet space program; Yelena, the lab technician responsible for Laika's health; and Laika, an energetic, trusting, and beloved dog chosen for a journey she will not survive.
