I don’t know the story behind these pictures but there is no possibility that that contraption put the pig into space, or even very high. It looks like a glorified circus cannon and was probably a very early study into the effects of rapid acceleration.
Cute pig, though - and is that ‘scientific’ vodka they’re giving it, or some Russian fizz? Maybe it was a marinade
Ray, the beverage in the bottle is actually “kagor”, a very sweet red wine. They probably thought it would make the pig a bit more happy:)
What are Laurel & Hardy doing in picture 15?
@Mike - I don’t know, but I shudder to think what is smeared on their faces, given that they’re holding a frightened pig
@Tanya - Yes, I’d want some liquid cheer, too.
The pig has mud on it’s nose in pic 15 after going for a quick snuffle after landing (pic 14).
I was a big fan of the Muppet’s regular sketch ‘Pigs in Space’ so I’m glad he looks OK.
[...] galería completa de imágenes está en First Russian Pigs in Space. Si, el título que le pusieron es bastante mentiroso, porque con ese cañón no van a llegar nunca [...]
These are stills from a mockumentary called Pigs in Space - so unfortunately not real. Still neat, though.
crazy fun))) hope the pig was happy w/Kagor ahahaha)
