40 years ago today, the lives of two Soviet cosmonauts, Gennady Strekalov and Vladimir Titov, were saved in the only use of an emergency shuttle eject system in the history of manned spaceflight. Their Mission Soyuz-U was on the launch pad when mission control detected a serious fuel leak in the rockets. A mere 20 seconds before the rockets exploded and obliterated the launch infrastructure beyond repair, Strekalov and Titov were launched 4.5 miles from the site at Mach 10 in their space shuttle, but miraculously suffered no serious injuries. READ about what they accomplished thanks to their 'second birthday'... (1983)
