This book is the first known work in the west dedicated to revealing the full story of the Vostok series, and our first fledgling steps off our planet Publication planned for April 2001 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Gagarin's historic flight Includes the full story of the men and women who trained for these missions, some of whom never flew Text: In The Rocket Men authors Rex Hall and Dave Shayler review this Soviet demonstration of technological progress rom both the developmental and operational aspects which were clouded in secret and in direct contrast to the high profile American programme. As the one-man ercury spacecraft gave way to the two-man series on the American road to the Moon with Apollo, the multi-crewed Voskhod series which followed the single-seat Vstok was expected to compete with the Gemini programme. By developing the experience and techniques required to send cosmonauts to the Moon the series was planned as a stepping stone to the Soyuz and Zo nd lunar programmes then under development which would race Apollo to the Moon.
