Description
An audiobook tells about the race between the USSR and the USA for first place in the flight of a person into space. It is based on rare documents and statements from the participants of those events. The author draws parallels between the rocket creators—Sergei Pavlovich Korolev and Wernher von Braun—and also between the cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard. Special attention is given to the history of the first Soviet cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin.
