Laika died a few hours after she entered space because of stress and overheating, ultimately a very painful death. Her capsule, weighing 1,120 pounds, remained in orbit 162 days. After circling the Earth 2,570 times, the capsule finally burned up on reentry into the atmosphere, carrying the body of its valiant little pioneer. Laika made her final statement as a tiny falling star in the night.
