Cosmonauts. Part 2
Description
Despite an early lead in the space exploration, the Soviet Union faced a series of setbacks during the race to the moon. The deaths of chief designer Sergei Korolev and hero Yuri Gagarin, as well as the explosion of the N1 rocket, allowed the Americans to land on the moon first. The Soviets instead began working on the first space stations. After the Soviet Union collapsed, international cooperation-not competition-became key to space exploration.
