NASA never used dogs to test their capsules, only the Russians did. The Americans used chimpanzees. however the first dog to orbit the earth (Laika) did died. Reports revielled that the capsule had no heat shield, allowing Laika to burn during re-entry.

Why did NASA send out Laika on a spacecraft that wouldn't come back to earth?

NASA did not send out Laika, a Soviet space dog, on a spacecraft that wouldn't return to Earth. The mission was carried out by the Soviet space program in 1957, not NASA. Unfortunately, Laika was never intended to return as the technology to safely bring spacecraft back from orbit was not developed at that time.

The dog in lost in space?

There was no Dog in the television program Lost In Space- a.k.a Space Family Robinson. The space craft was called the Jupiter II. There was a monkey, a chimpanzee named Debby the Bloop, but to my knowledge, no Canines. a Space dog was made up as a toy in the Moon Mcdare character who was sort of a space-faring action figure akin to G I Joe. I think he was Space Mutt, or Space Dog. This was a toy series not adapted to the small or large screen.


Why didn't NASA send humans into space first?

They didn't send humans up into space first, as they needed to find out the effects it had on the body, so they sent a dog, and a chimp into space, to conduct research, and make sure it was possible, or feasible.
