M. D. Jackson said...: The soviets seem to have lost more guys in space, while the Americans seem to lose more while trying to get there.

Kal said...: Don't get me started on Cold War Soviet design defects. I would be here all afternoon. I could write a book about those numnuts. Not an artist among them because of course Stalin and his ilk had all the artists and designers killed.; June 22, 2013 at 3:08 AM
