This program produced by Radio Moscow dramatically recounts the mission of Voskhod 2, in which Alexey Leonov became the first person to leave a spacecraft in a pressurized suit and "swim through space."
The hosts recount the life and career of the two crew members, Pavel Belyayev and Alexey Leonov and play clips of interviews with their wives. The program also incorporates audio from the mission and press conferences during and after the mission.
