An engaging autobiography of two space pioneers—the Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov and the American astronaut David Scott—tells about the period of the “space race” between the USSR and the USA, which resulted in the joint space project “Soyuz-Apollo.” The memories of both authors show that, despite belonging to different countries and cultures, they deeply respected one another and understood the complexities and risks associated with space exploration. Both autobiographies are distinguished by a desire to be part of advanced space events and a respect for the achievements of the other side.
