Soyuz One: A Soviet Space Tragedy

Показать описание

In April of 1967, the Soviet Union embarked on a voyage that would result in one of the most devastating cosmonautic failures of the century. Vladimir Komarov, one of the USSR's most prolific pilots took to the helm of 'Soyuz One' and would struggle against the ineptitude of Soviet leadership valiantly alongside his comrade Yuri Gagarin. His efforts, dashed by misfortune and Soviet obstinance would result in his untimely demise, with his capsule crashing down in Orenburg on the 24th of April 1967.

Corrections:
The information surrounding Komarov's interactions with Venyamin Russayev are not currently a reliable source, as no one has been able to verify whether his statements are true or false.

This relationship is quite poetic and sad....this is something worthy of a movie or a mini docu series like Chernobyl. Thank you for this excellent video.

A political commissar like Brezhnev would have only shed a tear if Komarov’s death made him look bad.

We should all strive to be friends like Komarov. Holy hell, that dude was loyal.

Komarov comes across as a highly decent person - very professional and understanding the screwed up system he lived under.

A simple upvote doesn't even begin to do this video justice. Extremely detailed research, perfectly told story. Thank you!

Every achievement of the Soviet Union was made possible with the blood of Soviet citizens. Komarov and Gagarin’s friendship was both touching and heartbreaking.

This got me emotional for a person that rarely sheds a tear. Thank you for sharing this story in such a beautiful way.

Thank you for debunking the "screaming cosmonaut" hoax. There are NO "secret recordings" of Komarov yelling, cursing, crying or anything of that nature. He was professional until the very end. His reputation does not deserve sullying.

As an engineer on the Soyuz program, I must say this is one of best and most well researched videos on the topic.

Komarov sacrificing himself to the mission for Gagarin's sake is just... man, that's painfully sad. Hat's off to ya, Komarov.

This has to be the most underrated channel. The story telling and imagery 💯

Your ability to paint the reality of the situation, the stakes at-risk but also the talents you display for injecting personal nuance and the chemistry between those that did whatever they could to succeed, or to hold back the tide of ill-advised choices made on their behalf....

It saddens me that you don't have the that such efforts would warrant. In a perfect world.

Many thanks for all the work you've poured into this, greatly looking forward to devouring your content 👍🍻

The story of Gagarin's death is still classified. The version you told is believed by Leonov (the plane was Su-15, not MiG-21 btw), but not the only one.

This channel deserves orders of magnitude more views than it has. I subbed, you've got a great sense for interesting topics that I don't often see covered elsewhere if ever. Keep up the good work!
