Astrospies documentary

Post by Hotdog »

I just watched this great documentary about US and Soviet efforts to put spies into space aboard orbital reconnaissance labs. Includes previously never before seen footage of the USAF Manned Orbiting Lab and Soviet Almaz military space station. Fascinating stuff!

At the end of the documentary, the narrator fails to point out that there have been more "astrospies" since these programs ended, aboard America's secret military shuttle missions. But perhaps that's best left for a sequel episode!
