Великие открытия / Вячеслав Довгань, пилот лунохода
or Great Discoveries / Vyacheslav Dovgan, Moonwalker Pilot
As you may know from earlier posts Lunokhod (Луноход in Russian) is translated Moonwalker.
This video gives a view of how the space program was followed with pride by folks in the Soviet Union at a time parallel to when I was growing up in the U.S. watching our space program unfold.
The images literally bring tears to my eyes because of all they communicate about that period of time - the joy of discovery - the respect for ingenuity, science and engineering - and also the underlying fear and suspicion of our adversaries on the other side. AMAZING stuff!
