I guess kids today have other heroes whose names they will react to in the same way we react to these. But they are probably not astro/cosmonauts (although Chris Hadfield’s version of “Space Oddity” may attract some).

As for Laika, the exhibition made very much of what happened when they shot her up, but very little of what happened to her afterwards. And the shop was selling lots of stuffed toy Laikas in space suits, which I thought was in rather bad taste.

I wonder if it is the same for young people today and I think maybe not. They have so much more information and news. Laika makes me sad, her death cannot have been a pleasant one. But part from that it was fantastic times with a feeling of future and no limits.
