Now we finally reach the Cold War and the Space Race. The two giants that emerge from WWII, America and the Soviet Union, pour money into researching new ways to get their rockets across oceans. But thanks to a soviet designer named Korolev, that's all about to change. The Chief Designer will be the one responsible for the CCCP's lead into space with a little project called Sputnik. But will the Soviet Union be able to maintain the lead for long?

Start your Warframe journey now and prepare to face your personal nemesis, the Kuva Lich — an enemy that only grows stronger with every defeat. Take down this deadly foe, then get ready to take flight in Empyrean! Coming soon! http://bit.ly/EHWarframe While rockets had been proven to be indispensable to the Second World War, the idea to send people up into orbit was still seen as fantasy. Space was important only as a method to further the range of missiles meant to land oceans away from their original launch point. But a man named Korolev will change all of that, with work so secretive, he will be referred to as Chief Designer for nearly his entire life. But we all know the name of his first project into space: Sputnik.

Good lord, you've done it. You've turned Zoey into Fur-bait.

We seriously need a Cold War series from you guys examining both points of view, not just the version given to us in the West by the U.S. An Alternate History series is being broadcast right now about what if the Soviets beat the Americans to the first moon landing in 1969 [not a very plausible premise given the dire state of the USSR's space programme at that time] called "For All Mankind."

A Cold War series from the Russian point of view - starting with Solzhenitsyn.

Having been born in a country that had 'socialist' in its name back then (for like one more year :D) I can tell you guys it's nowhere near as exciting as you might imagine, but I agree that it's always nice to have a different perspective on a subject.
