Re: [Swprograms] [Internetradio] Fifty Years Of Human Spaceflight – BBC World Service examines The Yuri Gagarin Legacy

Unfortunately I spotted this too late for live-on-shortwave airing,
but the Voice of Russia's weekly "Russian Book World" program featured
a review of a newly-released book about Gagarin, "Starman: the Truth
Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin" .  Last shortwave airing was last
night (0105) but you can listen online for (most likely) several weeks
at this URL:

I remember a National Geographic issue of late 1969 (I think) had one
of those floppy plastic 7-inch LP records in the issue; Frank Borman
narrated key developments of the US and Soviet space program up to the
Apollo 11 lunar landing.

One of the audio bits was the Radio Moscow interval signal with a
Russian-speaking announcer heralding the development.  "говорит
москва..." ("govorit Moskva", or Moscow Calling) .

Luckily I had made a cassette copy of that tape.  It got lost someplace after 1995 but not before I made another dub and passed it to my SWL buddy, Chuck Rippel, who gave it to his daughter's school teacher.  That may be the only remaining copy in the USA if she hasn't lost it.  I hope the BBC has found another copy to use in their special broadcast.  It is truly goose-bumpy stuff.
