It was these people who led the “energy” to the top of human civilization. In the late 50s and early 60s of the XX century, the competition in space between the USSR and the United States reached its climax. Thanks to the wisdom and impudence of the main space designer of the joint venture. Queen and theorist of astronautics M.V.
