Anti Religion artwork from Soviet Union Russia (USSR) featuring CCCP cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Original Vintage Retro Space design poster artwork for atheists, communists and socialist revolutionaries everywhere.

Actual photo of famous Soviet space dog, Laika. She was a street mutt that was sent into space (sadly, a one-way mission), as the first dog in space during experiments to see what space flight would do to humans.

3 November 1957 was the day the first dog ventured into space! The legendary Laika.

The official emblem of the Voskhod-2, Soyuz-4, Soyuz 5, and Soyuz 11 Soviet space program missions. The Voskhod-2 mission included the first spacewalk in human history by cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.

Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite.[6] The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957, orbiting for three weeks before its batteries died, then silently for two more months before falling back into the atmosphere. It was a 58 cm (23 in) diameter polished metal sphere, with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. Its radio signal was easily detectable even by radio amateurs,[7] and the 65° inclination and duration of its orbit made its flight path cover virtually the entire inhabited Earth. This surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis and triggered the Space Race, a part of the Cold War.
