Jules Bergman was my guide to space in the 70s, as our ABC station came in the clearest. Good memories.

Remember this project well - the BBC used "Fanfare for the common man " as their start/end music of the broadcasts. Fascinating program as always -thanks !

This is a documental?

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Alexei Leonov was not the Commander of Voskhod 2, Pavel Belyayev was

You may want to timestamp any discrepancies you have with the material, instead of simply mentioning them...

[@vitaly2432]

It's at 3:20. You're right to say that Leonov wasn't the commander of that flight, but the film doesn't state so. They introduce him as "the Soviet commander of the Soyuz in this week's joint flight". So, there's no mistakes here (apart from the "VosKHod" being mispronounced every time as "VoSHkod" which is a bit painful to hear, but that's totally forgivable).

In 1975, I don’t think the American press knew about the Soviet N1 moon rocket. I don’t think that info was revealed until the ‘90s. I read a book in the early 2000s about the Salyut space station. It was fascinating. The crew choice for the Apollo-Soyuz mission was interesting. Having Frank Borman visit Russia first was a good choice I think.

[@xandervk2371]

1975 was when the N1 program was formally closed.

[@TheSteveSteele]

@@xandervk2371 Yes, but only the CIA, NASA and the President of the United States knew about that. The American press did not, that I know of.

[@xandervk2371]

@@TheSteveSteele Not the press, but there was something about it in popular science magazines.

[@TheSteveSteele]

@@xandervk2371 Well that’s the press. Are you sure? I’m not saying I know for sure.
