63 years ago today, Félicette became the first cat to travel to space and safely return. On October 18, 1963, she took off on a French rocket from the Algerian Sahara. Her flight lasted about 13 minutes, and she reached an altitude of over 150 kilometers. Here's archival footage of her training, launch, and return to Earth.
