although the soyuz is smaller it actually has more room and living space than the apollo, thanks to the orbital module in front of the descent module, also soyuz has a toilet, compared to a vacuum hose and a plastic bag that was used in apollo. Even the soyuz instruments appeared quite sophisticated, it had a digital computer, I am sure the americans were expecting an inferior spacecraft, they were surprised!
@LannomFilm I always loved the Soyuz and however it does not throw too much pollution like the Shuttle, in my opinion Apollo and the Shuttle are great but Soyuz always remains my favorite.
@bombarderoazul ah but there is a difference. Soyuz has orbital module bolted to top of reentry. In Apollo it was essentially BEHIND you, stored in the SLA. You had to extract it on orbit. And the module could be anything you wanted. For this it was the docking adaptor. For the lunar missions it was the LEM. If they had continued with apollo rather than the shuttle im sure other different loads would have followed. Lot more flexible than soyuz acutally
@bombarderoazul .... and the Soyuz launcher cannot launch a soyuz + a docking adaptor. The saturn 1B could (just). Basically it could take about 3-5 tons of baggage in the SLA into orbit. Soyuz doesnt have that spare capacity.
...because judging by the way these craft fit together so well one could assume that the usa and the cccp had been working on this project for more than a decade!
they fit together because Apollo was launched with a docking adapter specifically made to be compatible with the Russian docking system. Both US and Russian docking system had male and female ends, and both Apollo and Soyuz had male docking probes.
How is that life of delusion treating you vader? Close up those ears nice and tight, and forget the lack of vibratioin in the voice of a liar pretending to be on board a rocket being launched.
You lot are the biggest bunch of morons this planet has ever had to endure!
This was the last American manned flight for the next six years. The shuttle was originally scheduled to fly but kept getting delayed due to issues involving the engines and the tiles.
no toilets in apollo!!!! smells like shit..........why did the russians open the docking
doors???

The Soyuz is a nice spacecraft I'll have to admit.

@melindastrassekonig The shuttle's exhaust is 97% water vapor just so you know....

Or... you can just give the Soviets blueprints to the docking mechanism and let them build one...
Shouldn't take a decade.

As well as all Apollo missions including the one here in the video...AUDIO is the KEY to the HOAX!
