Scott didn't conquer the south pole - what he did was far, far more important with his expedition. Scott a complete legend and the greatest of the explorers of that time even if he had his faults. Should have told the military to fuck off over Oates. Should have had Crean onboard in that final push.
So, by that logic, poor Laika couldn't claim to be the first dog in space, because she died before coming home.
