Big Picture Science - Make Space For Animals
(REPEAT)
Long before Yuri Gagarin became the first
human to go into space, Laika, a stray dog, crossed the final frontier. Find
out what other surprising species were drafted into the astronaut corps.
They may be our best friends, but we still
balk at giving other creatures moral standing. And why are humans so reluctant
to accept the fact that we too are animals?
