Rockets and people

Boris Chertok..shows how advanced the Russians were before the war.
There was a program 20? Years ago which started with one of NASAs heads thinking it was an April fools prank but ended up with the Russians re starting a production facility and providing Rocket motors which worked at higher pressures and efficientcy than the west could build.
Watched the Sukoi doing the Cobra at Farnborough one year which was out of the rest of the world's capablities.
