incapsulated orbit universe unfolds before eyes agape the glitter of stars against a velvet backdrop black slow drift into the cold and empty vacuum creation's seven comfort not the horror of the seven it takes to die In the name of science In the name of the Race ***It would seem that in recent years discoveries have been made that make my 'seven' lines pointless. However this was written long ago with the intitial belief that Laika died after 7 days. Here's a brief history along with new details about the fate of this beautiful dog*** http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2367681.stm |

Dear Raffaele, what a sensitive write. I read the story and it is so sad. Your words made me feel the anxiety and stress Laika had to endure ... ALONE! In the name of progress many lives have been sacrificed. But still, space research is part of men's natural evolution. Grazie Raffaele, per questa bellissima poesia in onore di Laika. Abbracci. Margherita  |
