Animal ethics you could SAY were a smidge different, as in practically nonexistent.
I feel like "loser" is a better term after what she would have to go through. 😢
ahaha I'm a pet dealer
I'm bummed. There are no more pins! Will you be getting more?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
"Near zero gravity" is a strange phrase to hear from SciShow. Like… Microgravity? Weightlessness?
I like stories of the French trying to stay relevant.
“She ended up being euthanized months after her journey”
I’M SORRY THEY DID WHAT?
"Few years later"?! No. Nope! That is just wrong?! First human in space – 1961! Heck, in 1963 first woman travelled to space!
Come on, guys. Don't do such errors. It's just stupid.
Great video, but we all know Mr. Pebbles was the first cat in space.
I wasn't looking and I thought you said a cat named Fifty Cent 😂
y'all were so dirty for making me think she was ok because she survived the flight
I put this on to listen as my cat and I fall asleep. Now we're going to have nightmares.
This channel is nothing without Hank
Cats can nap anywhere.
The version of the story I've heard before included the intended test subject running away and Felicet being a random stray cat who was caught days before the louch and just stuck in the rocket while she was kicking and screaming. I guess it's just an urban legend, but I'm wondering where it came from
Truly, you're doing exceptional work!
And it would be decades before the next cat, Jonesy, would make it into space. His time in space would too eventful to doze off.
Wait, what? The cat kept dozing off? That can’t be right!
That was a sad story.
@5:12; I got to hope that at least some of the designs for the statue involved a cat pawing the Earth, like Félicette was going to knock it over.
Ras🎉sai experimented with cat. Horrow show
"Felicette was euthanized so that scientists could study her brain"
Not sure that's what euthanized means. Sounds like "killed" is a better word.
Ouch… that one hurt. Humans are horrible. I'm so sad now!
Felicette is extremely famous in the fountain pen community, because there is a science-loving ink maker.
Gotta say: since we, as humans, with ALL OUR TECH, still can't decide sometimes if a female adult with all other signs is in danger of a major medical event… Of ANY KIND mmm… Maybe We ought to chill a tad and think there ought not be ANY LAW about how doctors try to SAVE people who might need to be.
Poor cat, she deserved better owners
Poor kitties.
I can't even watch the first minute of this video. It hurts too much tbh..
The goodest kitty
You mean Felicette didn't get the chance to destroy someone's expensive sofa? That's too bad.
I hate this
Felicette had the most meowtiful face I've seen on a tux kitty cat
I came here to learn, not to cry. T_T
"Oh, you work for NASA? What do you do?"
"I load the cats into the centrifuge and grade their performance.🤓"
Cat gets sent to space. Takes a nap. Very cat.
I did not watch this video but I read in the comments that poor Félicette was brought back but did not get to live a happy live. I find it horrible that other animals (like poor Laika) was just left to die and she died of stress (what that poor baby had to go through). We humans are a horrible race and do not deserve to live on this planet. We destroy it and use other living, feeling beeings as test subjects. We are monsters.
Poor Félicette, She reminds me the Schrödinger's cat
I just pre-ordered my Félicette pin and a couple of mystery ones.

GrumpyCat would have worked wonderfully in your thumbnail! Purr Felinus Ad Astra, Felicette!
Poor babies
Ok. I'm noticing something here. I've lost count but recently you upload videos with one thumbnail image and then a frew days later you change it to something flashier and more eye catching. Anyone else notice this? Is this some sort of experiment?
So appropriate that the first astronaut to nap in space is a cat.

All that and she doesn’t get left alone and gets her brain poked at. SMH humans are the worst and nothing will change my mind.
This is horrible…
Adult me completely understands why she was euthanized as a course of the research, it's not like they had MRIs (well, they did, but…) in the 60s. However, adult me is glad I never learned this story as a child, as I probably wouldn't have been able to deal.
