Re: 35 years ago, today
I recall a television documentary about the Soviet space program which mentioned a tragedy that occured mid-1960s, I believe. If memory serves, a large launch vehicle's engines failed to ignite, and so a swarm of technicians and engineers went to work on it. It exploded, killing scores of them. I seem to remember that there was actual footage of the event, mercifully grainy and blurred. Can anyone fill in the particulars on this?
