What if one handshake could change the future of space exploration?

On July 15, 1975, something extraordinary happened above Earth. For the first time in history, an American Apollo spacecraft and a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft successfully docked in orbit, creating a bridge between two countries that had spent decades competing in the Space Race.

The crew of two countries: Thomas Stafford, Vance Brand and Donald “Deke” Slayton (USA) and Alexey Leonov and Valery Kubasov (USSR). They spent several days working together in space, conducting scientific experiments, sharing meals, and demonstrating that cooperation was possible even during times of political tension.


Apollo–Soyuz was a lesson in communication, trust and the power of people to work together beyond borders.

At CosmoRide, we work with language barriers bring Russian as a second language to the USA and we believe that the future of space belongs to those who can build technology and understand each other🌌

A small gift can carry a very big message

During the Apollo–Soyuz mission in 1975, American astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts exchanged symbolic gifts while orbiting Earth. The crews wanted to celebrate a successful mission and a new chapter of cooperation.

Among the gifts were:
🔹A wooden plaque with mission emblems, representing friendship between the two
🔹Medallions created especially for the mission, symbols of this historic moment.
🔹Flags of both countries as a reminder that exploration can unite people beyond political differences.

Human connection is built through communication, curiosity and respect for other cultures.

Who actually works in space?🚀

The space industry isn't just about rockets or astronauts anymore. It's a rapidly growing global ecosystem where technology, business, education, design, communications, and research all play a role.

That's why the industry needs people with diverse skills: teachers, designers, journalists, project managers, researchers and many more.

«Можно в космос» (@careerinspace_rus) is a media and career platform helping people navigate the space industry through company insights, career guides, educational opportunities, and stories from professionals already working in the field.


Together we believe, that space becomes more accessible through language, education, and international collaboration. We're opening new pathways for students, educators, and future professionals to connect with the global space community.

🚀 Another Crew, Another Handshake in Space

Today, Soyuz MS-29 successfully docked with the International Space Station, bringing Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, together with NASA astronaut Anil Menon, to join the Expedition 74 crew aboard the ISS.

For the next 261 days, they will live and work together in orbit, conducting 38 scientific experiments and advancing research that benefits all humanity.

At a time when headlines often focus on division, the International Space Station reminds us of something different.

Above political borders, astronauts and cosmonauts continue to trust one another, solve problems together, and pursue discoveries that no single nation could achieve alone.

The ISS remains one of humanity’s greatest examples of international collaboration—where professionalism, mutual respect, and a shared mission matter more than nationality.

At CosmoRide, this is exactly the future we believe in: using space as a bridge between cultures, languages, and people. Because when we look at Earth from orbit, there are no borders, we have only one planet, shared by all of us. 🌍🚀
