巴库纳尔曼:冷战结束时的太空、科学、美国雄心与俄国混乱[Audiobook]
Barry L. Stoddard, Rich Miller (Narrator), "Baikonur Man: Space, Science, American Ambition, and Russian Chaos at the Cold War’s End"
Against the backdrop of the late Cold War, a tiny American start-up company forged a secret deal to place American scientific payloads aboard the Soviet space station MIR. Born out of sheer desperation after the Challenger explosion and grounding of the United States space shuttle program, the agreement was negotiated and approved behind the backs of NASA and Congress, with the help of United States government officials inside the Commerce and Defense departments.
On a cold gray morning in February 1988, the company founder met with three graduate students and their professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to put his plans into action. Baikonur Man, written by one of those students, recounts the subsequent five-year saga of how science, comradery, hardship, drama, and occasional lunacy led to the first American experiments and payloads to fly on Russian rockets.
巴里·L·斯托达德(Rich Miller,播客主持人):“拜科努尔人:冷战末期太空、科学、美国雄心与俄罗斯混乱”
在冷战晚期的背景下,一家小型美国初创公司达成了一项秘密协议,在苏联空间站和平艇上放置美国科研载荷。这项协议是在挑战者号航天飞机爆炸和美国航天计划暂停后,出于绝望而生出的产物。它在NASA和国会的背后进行谈判并获得批准,得到了商界与国防部门内部美国政府官员的帮助。
1988年2月的一个灰蒙蒙的早晨,该公司创始人与麻省理工学院三名研究生及教授会面,以实施他的计划。该书作者之一的一名学生所著《拜科努尔人》讲述了从那时起五年的故事,科学、同志情谊、艰辛、戏剧和偶尔的疯狂如何导致了美国飞船首次搭乘俄式火箭进行实验。
