This is a very good documentary. At 50:39 it says, "The other contender [for first female cosmonaut] was airbrushed out of the official history. Her name is Valentina Leonidova Ponomareva (maiden name Kovalevskaya). She was a pilot with 320 hours to her credit accrued on PO-2 and Yak-18 aircraft at her local sports club. She also had the distinction of having graduated from the prestigious Moscow Aviation Institute and having served as a scientist at the Department of Applied Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Yuri Gagarin opposed her selection because she was the only one of the five female candidates who was a mother. She went on to be the head of the History of Aviation and Cosmonautics Group at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow.

Sputnik was way ahead of its time in the space industry.

Good documentary.
Korolev was a genius and the Soviets were first in many things. The Russians are still first in many things.
Let us remember that sixty years later there are countries that dont even have that technology today.

Toilet paper was precious under Russian Communism, more than food or tampons. Sick pychologics

Sergei Korolev versus Sergey Korolyov? Death becomes Russia.

If you are asking about the American spelling of his name ... There are different systems of transliteration. "Sergei Korolёv" is the way I learned it in college in the 1970s, when I took two years of Russian. Wiki has a good article on the lack of any one standard:

The "y" in Сергей Королёв looks weird to me because I was always taught it's ei, not ey.

For the mainland China capital, Beijing used to be Peking. Standards change over time.

@Space SPAN First, thanks for sharing these videos. I feel it’s tragic that Korolev was denied the recognition he thoroughly deserved in his lifetime. It’s sad also that his life was tragically cut short. It’s amazing just how much he accomplished, acting as the equivalent of not just Von Broun, but of Kurt Debus, Kris Kraft, and Bob Gilruth, the directors or assistant directors of key NASA Space Flight Centers. He organized it all for the Soviet space program.

It would have been fascinating to see how things would have unfolded, had the US and the Soviet Union cooperated on a joint exploration of the Moon. It’s interesting to speculate on what might have been, and where we would be today, in terms of the human exploration of space.

As for the pronunciation of his name, could it have anything to do with the fact that he was Ukrainian, at least by birth?
