A fascinating dual autobiography of Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov and American astronaut David Scott - memoirs and a documentary account of how the "lunar rivalry" between the USSR and the USA, which evolved into the "Soyuz-Apollo" space project, laid the foundation for the era of scientific and technical partnership between the USSR and the USA.
Scott and Leonov, as leading participants in that unprecedented race of space achievements, had great respect for each other and, in essence, more than anyone else, understood all the problems, the weight of trials, and the degree of risk that threatened their opponent.
These biographies, told from the perspectives of two very different cultures and societies, are united by the desire of true explorers to participate in the most advanced space events and the respect for the technical achievements of the opposing side.
