Wonders of High Technology
6 hrs. 59 min.
Miracles come in different kinds. Some are fairy-tale miracles—“by the wish of the Pike, by my own will.” Others are real. For example, when in 1961 Yuri Gagarin flew into space, many perceived his flight as a kind of technological miracle. It is no accident that S.P. Korolev, the chief designer under whose leadership this project was carried out, called these and similar developments “fantasy on the drawings.” Miracles very often appear in our everyday life too—it's just that we don’t always notice them.
In this audio book, you’ll find a story about the most interesting miracles of high technology, architecture, and construction.
