The story of the first space walk is truly terrifying!

This remarkable feature-length documentary combines rare and unseen archive footage with interviews with the surviving cosmonauts to tell the fascinating and at times terrifying story of how the Russians led us into the space age. A particular highlight is Alexei Leonov, the man who performed the first spacewalk, explaining how he found himself trapped outside his spacecraft 500 miles above the Earth, and on returning to Earth was at risk of being eaten by Siberian wolves. Scary stuff!

Thanks for sharing, I'll check that out!
My prefered method of watching stuff like this is to use hola unblocker, works with Netflix, Channel4, basically anything, and of course BBC. I've been watching some awesome Attenborough from the 60's on BBC iPlayer lately

There's also this doco on the Soviet space program, it's been a while since I watched it but I seem to remember it was ok:

Thank you for the link. It will be very interesting to watch and also nice to see some materials from Russia not prepped but real and honest. I am not being very objective, am I?
