[FPSPACE] N-1 video

[Jakob Terweij]

I also had some talks with him about the MArs mission. He really  
believes it was for the Manned Mars flight . He was also in one of the  
first cosmonautgroups of korolov together with nikitski , whom I also  
met in MAI. I took picures ofboth of them in the Luna lander in MAi  
lab 601
