Synopsis
We are told that in 1957, Laika the dog was launched into Earth’s orbit. She never returned. We watch the dog take off in a rocket as the title comes up.
In the present day, we watch the ISS explode in some kind of disaster. Commander Kotov gets out in an escape pod, alone. After a tense spin, he gets the capsule under control, and the ground crew wants to know what happened to the rest of the crew.
His story? Well, it turns out he may not want to survive…
Commentary
The special effects here for all the space stuff is excellent; the dog, less so, but it’s all perfectly good for the story. It took 65 years for justice to be served, but it all worked out in the end.
