Well, it's about 'manned' spaceflight
 What was the first animal to fly onboard a rocket ? We surely know: The US space program used monkey, as early as 1949 on modified V-2 rocket, later onboard capsules similar to the Mercury-project capsules… The Soviets used dogs, Laïka was the first animal to orbit the Earth… Yesterday on BBC-2 I heard that an insect ( fly ) was the first animal to fly on a V-2 rocket in 1946 ???
