An excellent article on the history of these two countries space program. I still have have plenty of memorabilia from this time, including the original 'coin' minted for this joint flight as well as postage stamps from both countries celebrating this event. (Plus plenty of flight patches for these programs from the 70's and 80's.)

The early enthusiasm from the space programs has long passed, something I think most of today's youth cannot relate to. Likely one large reason why pride in this country has fallen.

Thanks for sharing.
