In Soviet Russia, chain links YOU!
Kind of a weird poster of Apollo-Soyuz, but I will reblog anything from my favorite manned mission of all time. I think Russia tends to revere this (really monumental) event more than the States. Having visited major museums in both countries, Russia definitely seems more proud of Apollo-Soyuz as their displays are very prominent and much larger than anything that mentions this mission over here. It’s a shame, really. All that seems to matter over here is that we won the race. There’s barely any mention of Apollo-Soyuz here. In fact, I didn’t even know about it until I lived in Russia. They even have a display of our moon landings over there! Since then, they’ve continued to advance manned space flight while our program is slowly mutilated down to nothing - a victim of our polarized political environment and the fickle concerns of our citizens.
