Lost in Space

jstn:

Incredible (and impossible to verify) story about two Italian brothers in the ’60s who claim to have recorded the space deaths of several cosmonauts. It’s partially corroborated: “Mikhail Rudenko, a retired senior space engineer, claimed a few years ago that three early victims were test pilots who were simply blasted straight up into space between 1957 and 1959.”

Who knows if that’s true, but the Soviet Union really did manage to cover up the deaths of 120 engineers and technicians when a prototype rocket exploded on the launchpad in 1960. They kept it secret for over 30 years.
