Starting at 19:23, the wreckage behind the old general is Article 360, the U-2 Frank Powers flew over the Soviet Union on 1 May 1960.

First words of the documentary. "The shock wave approach and knocked on the roof of the bunker 1, 2 as if a giny had free from the bottle patted us and thanked us for releasing him from his long captivity" You got to laugh or cry!?!

If nothing else, it's a brilliant turn of phrase by the old lad

17:20 I feel like this is so interesting, because I'm a twelve year old, in an American school, and I had created this internal ideation that Russia was the bad guy, that they had bad, violent intentions, and that the US was just trying to stop them. This is just really eye opening to me, because I honestly had no idea that they were scared of us. I saw a sort of documentary, where this guy went around and asked people in Russia(just normal people, walking around) what they wanted to say to America, and a lot of people said something along the lines of 'We just want peace, we want to stop fighting, we want to break the tension between us.' I also was on a sort of texting platform where you can talk to random people all around the world, and I met a guy(Around my age) from somewhere in Asia, I forget where exactly, but he said that they looked up to America because of our innovation, and how we move forward so quickly. This just really shocked me, because I look up to other countries in terms of their government, and economy. I have ADHD, so I think a bit differently than others, but I really think that the school system should start teaching these things from an early age so we have a better image of how people see us. I also really hate how, for a long time, I used to think that Africa was all just dirt houses, not enough food, and so on. But then I learned from a Ted Talk that Africa has thriving cities, and yes, some parts of the country are more poor than others, but not all of it. Same with Mexico, I used to think its all just immigrants, and homeless people trying to survive, again, not true. I'm not sure if they teach things differently in the upper grades, but they really should make sure that we don't have these opinions of these wonderful places. And thank you if you read this much, I really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day or night, ummm yeah!

sadly, the space race was initiated to develop ICBMs and spy satellites, because the trajectory you have to send a missile on to hit russia from america for example means it has to go into space. sputnik was fired up on an ICBM, and if you make a venn diagram of countries with nukes and countries with a space program its basically a circle, even if the money would probably be better spent somewhere else (take india, for example). the investment in "space" was an investment in nukes as depressing as that is. I hope they one day find a better use for the technology, but colonising mars or the moon seems pretty far off even with all the developments they made.

The reason the USA fell behind in space is simple. The USSR had trouble "miniaturizing" their nukes, thus, a very powerful booster was needed to loft their heavy warheads. This ended up in being able to orbit Sputnik, which weighed maybe 1/500 what a nuke weighed. U.S. boosters didn't need the power; US nukes were lighter. Thus, early US boosters could not achieve orbit.

The problem was the USSR was not at war with Japan and under the laws of war at the time the Russians were well within their rights to do what they wished with them (they could have kept the crews interned as well, but did let them 'Escape' into Iran so that they could go home. The pity was had the US aircrew who didn't pay attention at their mission brief, paid attention to the order "don't land in the USSR as they are Neutral as regards the Pacific War", the USSR would never have got their hands one.
