The first 1000 primal space viewers to use this link will get a one-month free trial of Skillshare Premium In the mid 1970’s, the Soviet Union felt threatened after hearing that the Americans were working on a winged space vehicle. Although the US and the Soviet Union had periods of healthy cooperation in the past, they also had a history of intense competition when it came to space. The Soviets held the record for launching the first satellite into orbit, but America managed to beat them to the Moon. This video looks at how the Soviets managed to get their hands on important Shuttle documents in order to create an even more advanced version of the Space Shuttle called the Buran.
