In April of 1967, the Soviet Union embarked on a voyage that would result in one of the most devastating cosmonautic failures of the century. Vladimir Komarov, one of the USSR's most prolific pilots took to the helm of 'Soyuz One' and would struggle against the ineptitude of Soviet leadership valiantly alongside his comrade Yuri Gagarin. His efforts, dashed by misfortune and Soviet obstinance would result in his untimely demise, with his capsule crashing down in Orenburg on the 24th of April 1967.
