First : didn’t find a comic instance so here it is Second : Warren Ellis is a sex pest, so don’t buy his comics

Ministry of Space is a cool twist on the « what if X was first on the moon/space and not the American ». In this case : Britain

Edit : also any good comic suggestions is welcome

We weren't the first into space. That was the Soviets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin[a][b] (9 March 1934 – 27 March 1968) was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut who, aboard the first successful crewed spaceflight, became the first person to journey into outer space.

The Moon, yes.

Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first into space. Laika was.

RIP Laika.

(Still Russian, tho)

If you believe panspermia theory, Earthlings weren't the first species into space.
