    They definitely didn't strap dogs to rockets and left them for dead

    A little known fact about me is that I enjoyed ballroom dancing and walking in the rain, but then they strapped me to a rocket

    People often ask me why I volunteered for a suicide mission into space, I didn't, Sergei Korolev lured me into the capsule with treats
