Pavel Klushantsev - Doroga k zvezdam (1957)

The featured movie has been, in the well-informed circles, for quite some time now a model movie in ways of early, non-computized animation and extremely fluid special effects. For us it is important especially due to the connection between its spacecraft architecture (largely taken from the H.P.N.'s book "Problem of Spaceflight" which was translated into Russian from the early 1935) and practical usage of it in the Soviet/Russian space program.
We bring you two short excerpts of the movie, the first one more by means of wider education and the second one showing most of the important parts, designed by Potočnik Noordung's book. For the article and the whole video clip upload we thank Mark Wade and the Encyclopedia Astronautica, respectively.
