Our Great Leader & People's Politburo has expedited the launch of “Laika's Orbiting Dacha” (LOD) in which our faithful Dogmanaut Comrade Laika will supervise the operation of same. Comrade Laika's over 50 years of permanent space flight experience definitely qualifies her to command this station for the Glory of The Party!

This extraordinary measure was taken in light of the recent diabolical sabotage by reactionary Re-pug-nacians of The People's Communication Satellite Fleet, which put all of The People in certain danger of receiving dangerous anti-revolutionary program broadcasting.

This new station will replace all other People's satellites, which were beyond their “shelf lives” anyway. These marvels of 1960's People's Technology will be crashed into earth retired as soon as the LOD is launched & fully operational next Tuesday.

Please examine the schematic provided in this post, keeping in mind that elements of the LOD are classified secret & discussion of these elements will mean immediate denouncement, expulsion from The Party & a pleasant train trip.

Long Live Great Leader & The Party!

Is it not a misfortune, that the evil Rethug's shut down dear leaders government, leaving Orbiting Dacha out in the cold. I will notify thePETA radicals so they can march on Washington and demand a reinstatement of the previously stated.... or whatever.

Glorious news, Comrade Che (the benevolent)... I was concerned as to who would be doing the pooping scooping but I am relieved to know there are modern conveniences to make said scoops. Ones like in and around the White House, I am thinking? Especially in light of all the . . . . well, never mind. As long as all is well and well funded, praise Obama.

Don't forget the "Doggie Door" Comrade Che'.

Oh. hell. no.

Don't forget that our four-legged comrade has been elsewhere besides orbiting the Earth...
Just another demonstration of clearly superior socialist technologies.

How does noble dog Laika ingest food from bowl through helmet? Does helmet have intake straw?

Comrade Diaperette, I hate to be breaking the breaking bad news, but like Lassie, there are several Laika's Unfortunately, our space comrades did not make opening for food requirements and doggie door lead outside. Thus, the requirement for several Laika's to be doing the peoples space business (no pun intended!)

Comrade,

Why is Laika riding in her Roving Lunar Doggie Dish? Oh, I get it... It's a Lunar Rover.

Comrade Che' - but you say there are elements to the galatik dacha that are Double-Secret. If this is the case and Unkle Joe invented these sensitive apparat-i then I am presented with a logical conundrum. Perhaps we are purging the old man and your politikal maneuvers are to nuanced for me to comprehend!

Comrade Squirrel - you are observant! I believe the rover was a decommissioned kulak antennae.

Keep the signal strong our four legged Friend of the People!!

4 legged? I didn't realize Chad had 4 legs. No wonder he tried to sign up for O-Care.
