USSR intelligence agencies tricked American intelligence officers trying get the secret of Soviet pills that supposedly helped astronauts increase endurance and stay in orbit for a long time. About this amusing fact was told by Nikolay Rybkin – the first leader Star City.
According to Rybkin, the Soviet cosmonauts spent long flights in low Earth orbit, but the Americans did not succeed. It’s not clear why, but the American intelligence officers decided that we have some kind of “miraculous” pills that make astronauts hardy and for a long time keeping working capacity.
The Americans did everything to find out more about this drug, although this simply did not exist. And then our counterintelligence decided to intrigue slightly during joint flights Americans. When the Soviet astronaut sat down to dinner, he ostentatiously took a pill from his pocket, drank it and gave it also to his colleague – flight engineer. The tablet was ordinary – soda.
This event only spurred American special services in their assumptions. When did they try to find out the origin of these pills, then our counterintelligence agents specifically called another city, if only to take those away from Moscow.
The Americans promptly began their own development “miracle pills”, spent a lot of money, built a powerful laboratory, but the composition of the Soviet “magic pill” them it was not possible to find out. Yes, that’s understandable, because it’s just not existed.
Earlier reports of a possible return of firearms to outfit of Russian cosmonauts. This measure considered by specialists as part of the planned for 2025 flight transport ship “Eagle”.
