I sure, most people are well aware of the space race that took place between the Russians and the Americans during the sixties and the seventies.  While most westerners have heard the American side of the story, wouldn’t it be interesting to hear the Russian side.  Take suborbital transports as an example, of a way to turn your vacation into a bit of a learning experience.  And really, hearing the other side of a lot of history is one of the most interesting things there is about traveling in my mind.  Really, that’s the whole point of travel.  To experience different cultures and learn more about the people and the places they live in.
