And replying to @Little_Nemo 's question about animals dying in space: yes, several other contenders apart from Laika:  
" Laika died during the flight, as was expected because the technology to return spacecraft from orbit had not yet been developed.[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_space#cite_note-AT-20171103-1)At least 10 other dogs were launched into orbit and [numerous others](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_space_dogs) on sub-orbital flights before the historic date of 12 April 1961, when [Yuri Gagarin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin) became the first human in space."
