Also how to spell detente. Actually, aside from the kilofeet/miles mix-up in the caption, the flight profile graph is pretty good. |

I wouldn't want to testify to matters pertaining to subtle aspects of Russian useage, but Laika does come from "laiat'", "to bark." "Suka" is the usual word for "bitch" and is used in all of the ways it is in English, and more. Russian can be quite colorful. |

Blows my mind to think that when she was growing up in the Soviet Union, I was training to turn her into a pillar of salt and her homeland into a series of glassed-over parking lots. Go figure.
