	Memorial to Laika
		Laika was secured in place with a special harness and had access to both water and food (a special high-nutrition gel) during the flight.
		It was reported that Laika suffered no extreme ill-effects during the ascent and insertion into orbit since the electrodes recorded relatively normal vital signs under the circumstances, although she did seem somewhat agitated and her pulse rate did rise to three times its resting level.
		Originally, it was uncertain how long Laika had survived in space, with initial estimates ranging from twenty-four hours to one week and the possible speculation that she had lived for as many as ten days.

	Laika: Wherever I Am I Am What's Missing - PopMatters Music Review
		Laika have always taken their own sweet time releasing their albums, and Wherever I Am I Am What's Missing is their fourth album in nine years.
		The result is a more consistent Laika album than what we've been used to in the past, subtly veering to the middle of the road.
		The album's one saving grace is the fact that Laika know how much is too much: it's a rather consistent record from beginning to end, but with 10 songs in 42 minutes, any longer would have been too much of the same thing.

	Laika The Rocket Dog
		Laika, the brave but ill-fated canine, was hermetically sealed in a capsule that traveled nearly 18,000 miles per hour more than 900 miles above the Earth's surface launched from the tip of a specially-converted Intercontinental Ballistic Missle (ICBM).
		Laika's spacecraft had no descent capsule, so she burned up along with the satellite as it returned to the Earth's atmosphere.
		A plaque commemorating the contributions of Laika and other animals that were studied in the space program was unveiled in late 1997 at the Institute for Aviation and Space Medicine in Moscow.

	CNN.com - Soviet account of space dog disputed - Oct. 29, 2002
		Laika overheated, panicked and died within hours of launch in the second spacecraft to circle the planet, contrary to Soviet reports that the dog had lived for up to a week, said Dimitri Malashenkov of the Institute for Biomedical Problems in Moscow.
		Laika, a mixed-breed pooch whose name means Barker, rode in a cramped, padded pressurized compartment, with enough room to stand or lie down and with water and food dispensed in a gel form.
		Nicknamed "Muttnick" in the United States, she was outfitted with a harness, a waste collection bag and electrode sensors to record her vital signs, which were beamed down to mission scientists.
