Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 11, 2018

Getting better treatment than Laika.

Dogs just love being nosy.

Give me time. This is a new neighborhood. Where are the trees and the hydrants?

You can sniff the insides of your suit helmet while inside the spaceship too!

His problem is that in space, you can’t smell $@#)!

If he goes, the “collection” is automatic!

Dog hell, never being able to sniff anything except yourself.

That looks like a Gemini capsule.

Pee minus ten and counting.

How tall are the power poles there?

Did the astronaut bring a poo bag with him? No? Shame on NASA. The mess will be exactky where someone will step per Murphy’s Law

Used to have a dog like this. My neighbor used to laugh over BBQ’s about how he’d hear me outside cussing and swearing, telling my dog, “Just go! There IS no number three!”

In space no-one can hear you pee…….

There’s nothing smelly out there, not in the leashed.

They’d practiced the evacuation drill endlessly, but when it came time for the real thing…..

This made me laugh out loud. :)

Has there ever been a dog on a manned space flight? What, no leash law in space, the international space community must be outraged. They forgot to tether themselves to the capsule, doomed to float on space forever. If a dog was to poop on the International Space Station, the astronauts wouldn’t have to worry about stepping in it.

Is that why there is so much garbage in space?

Depends

Astronauts have reported a distinctive “space smell” (like welding fumes) clinging to their space suits after an EVA. Maybe that’s what the four legged astronaut is smelling with such interest.
