Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

Sputnik 2, launched on November 3, 1957, carried the dog Laika, the first living creature to be shot into space and orbit Earth. Laika was a stray dog found on the streets of Moscow. There were no plans to return her to Earth, and she lived only a few hours in orbit. …

Danny, after learning he can survive in space as a ghost, spends many hours floating up there. Orbiting the earth and staring outwards. He picks out Saturn, vega, Andromeda. He uses the time to de-stress and relax and fulfill his obsession.
On one such trip, after ancients knows how many hours he hears a bark that echoes in his ectoplasm. He thinks at first that it's Cujo, come to fetch him at the request of his sister or his friends. But the dog he sees when he turns around isn't Cujo.
It's Laika. She wants to play.
