[net.space] 3RD TIME IN ORBIT?

Terry@sri-unix (06/24/82)

     SOMEONE MADE THE COMMENT THAT THE LAUNCHING OF STS-4 WILL BE THE
3RD TIME THAT U.S. AND SOVIET ASTRONAUTS AND COSMONAUTS WILL BE IN SPACE
AT THE SAME TIME. OTHER THAN THE POLLO-SOYUZ MISSION, WHEN ELSE
HAVE AMERICANS AND SOVIETS BEEN IN SPACE AT THE SAME TIME?

Of course, the THIRD time that both the US and
the USSR are in space at the same time doesn't
have anything to do with the fact that the shuttle
is carrrying a military cargo, does it?
I hope not.
