    A second quiz on the furry chums that we've sent into space. Some of them even came back!

    1. What were the first animals in space?

    2. What kind of animals were Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey, who accompanied astronaut Ronald Evans in the Apollo 17 command module as it orbited the Moon for six days in 1972?

    3. The Soviet Union sent many dogs into space, including Laika, the first animal to orbit the Earth. Why did they have a policy of using stray dogs?
