    In November 1957, the United States sent monkeys Able and Baker into space on a Jupiter missile, making them the first living creatures successfully recovered after a space trip. While Able died in June 1959, Baker survived until 1984. The Soviet Union launched the first dog, Laika, into space in November 1957, though she died shortly after from overheating and panic. It was the Soviets who first sent a human, Yuri Gagarin, into space on April 12, 1961, with Gagarin orbiting the Earth for nearly two hours.
