60 years later and the best they can do is a copy paste of an old mission...
even the commemorative medallions look the same
and they still can't beat Laika (who didn't survive exposure to the VAB)

that medallion is shaped from a mold of stalin's buttplug, a valuable historical artifact. show some respect.

maybe it looks similar because they wanted to pay homage to the gemini flight?
>didn't survive VAB
no evidence for radiation being what killed her.

it's likely since she went right into the death-zone
that's why other missions avoid that altitude

its just that theres no evidence and the russians have no reason not to say. They already had to admit she died because the environmental system failed because their booster didn't separate properly...a pretty good fuck up.
i know you moonhoaxie fags are desperate to claim that its impossible to get to the moon because of the VAB, but Laika isn't going to work for you like that. The VAB are dangerous and nobody denies that. If Sputnik 2 wasn't designed to protect from the radiation then it could possibly have contributed to her death, though ive never seen any thorough examination of why it should.
But just because one small very early satellite couldn't protect Laika from VAB radiation doesn't mean that later craft were not able.
