>Millions remember the countdowns, launchings, splashdowns, and
>parades as the U.S. raced the USSR to the moon in the 1960s. But few
>know that both countries also ran parallel space programs, whose
>covert goal was to launch military astronauts on spying missions. In
>this program, NOVA delves into the untold story of this top-secret
>space race, which might easily have turned into a shooting war in
>orbit.
>
>Coproduced by investigative journalist James Bamford, acclaimed
>best-selling author of The Puzzle Palace and Emmy Award-winning
>producer Scott Willis, "Astrospies" uncovers new clues about the
>tensest period of the Cold War, when the U.S. and USSR were on the
>verge of war and desperate for intelligence on each other's nuclear
>capabilities.
