'The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We didn't learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog' (Oleg Gazenko, Soviet Scientist, 1998). Laika: A Space Dogyssey is a new musical comedy, based on the story of the Moscow stray blasted on a one-way trip into orbit in 1957. From rags, to riches, to the outer-reaches of space, this is a tale of canine exploration, betrayal and a light-hearted look at how those with power abuse the most vulnerable in society for their own ends. With singing dogs. In space.
