I can't help but devote my today's blog post to Soviet and Russian cosmonauts, and what we can learn from them...

I guess I'm about your Dad's age. I well remember all of the "Space Race". What many Americans don't remember is that the US lost every step of the way till we landed on the Moon in 1969. The 1st satellite (Sputnik), The 1st man in orbit (Yuri Gagarin), the 1st 2 men in space, the 1st woman in space, the 1st space walk, the 1st space-docking maneuvers, the 1st space station - these were all Soviet accomplishments. I dare say the US may never again attain the level we did in reaching for it - those were heady days. Who can forget the walls of computers at "Houston", the mighty Saturn V, or the many variations on the Vostok rockets with their fanned-array multiple engines?
