Russia in Space - The Failed Frontier? Tells the inside story of the traumatic events that engulfed the once-glorious Soviet space program - a program that put the first satellite into orbit, the first man into space, the first probes on the moon, and sent spaceships to Mars and Venus. It is a story of desperation and decline, but also a tale of heroic efforts to save the Mir Space Station and the construction partnership with the US to build the International Space Station.
