Two Side Of The Moon
by David Scott and Alexei Leonov
David Scott was one of twelve men to have walked on the moon. He flew three space missions: first as pilot of Gemini 8 in 1966, then as command module pilot on Apollo 9 in 1969, and finally as commander of Apollo 15 in 1971.
Alexei Leonov was among the first group of cosmonauts selected in 1960 and flew two space missions: first as a pilot of Voskhod 2 in 1965 becoming the first man to walk in space and then in 1975 as commander of Soyuz 19 during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. In 1966 he was appointed commander of the lunar training group and would have been the first Soviet cosmonaut on the moon. Leonov is also an accomplished painter, having exhibited throughout the world.
Space was one of the most fiercely fought battlegrounds of the cold war, the moon its ultimate beachhead.
