For the sake of experimentation, humans never run out of animals to take to outer space. Some of them are purely for research and some are just mere gimmicks.
Recently, the European Space Agency (ESA) became the talk of the town for sending the animated character Shaun the Sheep on a plane mission outer space NASA to the moon, Artemis I. They claim Shaun the Sheep is the first “sheep” to be in space.

It’s interesting to see these gimmicks. It’s just that there are also many sad stories experienced by animals when sent into space.
Here are some stories among them:
1. Laika the Poor Soviet Union Dog
Laika is a guinea pig sent by the Soviet Union into space. The dog became history for being the first animal to go into space.
The problem is that the trip to space is a suicide mission for Laika. Because Laika is predicted to die on the seventh day due to running out of oxygen.
The problem is that at that time the technology was still less sophisticated. As a result, Laika was frightened when the spaceship began to fly. His heart rate tripled from normal, and his breathing rate quadrupled.
