about

Assorted tracks (eventually) to honor the lost cosmonauts lost during the attempt to send the first man into space. You're out there somewhere and it's time someone made you something to honor your plight.

Ivan Istochnikov and his dog Kloka were supposedly killed by a meteorite impacting their ship in 1968 while piloting a supposedly "unmanned" Soyuz 2.

Vladimir Komarov was killed in 1967 when the ship he was piloting, Soyuz 1, crashed due to a braking parachute failure.

Andrei Mikoyan and another crew member overshot the moon's orbit in 1969 sending them and their ship into deep space never to be seen again...

about

Alex Fermanis Washington

It's a cosmic dance in the clutches of death, often surreal and surely sobering. Notes from a wandering minstrel with more yarns to spin.
