58 Space: First Space Station / Soyuz 11 / Russian Space Traditions

This week we take a look at space! (Look out a window it’s there!)
Matt focuses on the Space Race between the USA and the Soviet Union. Over the course of twenty years the two superpowers battled over dominance of space, leading to a ton of new and impressive firsts. We look at the First Space Station, the Salyut 1, as well as the tragic Soviet mission, Soyuz 11.
We finish with some fascinating pre-launch cosmonaut traditions!
