Before any human left the planet, a small stray from the streets of Moscow went first. On November 3, 1957, Laika rode aboard Sputnik 2 and became the first living creature to orbit the Earth. She never came home, but her flight proved a living being could survive launch and weightlessness, opening the path for every astronaut who followed.

This sweatshirt honors the quiet pioneer who went where no one had gone before: the first explorer of orbit, and a very good dog.
