> The lenses on the camera were a 200 mm focal length, f/5.6 aperture objective and a 500 mm, f/9.5 objective. The camera carried 40 frames of American-made temperature- and radiation-resistant 35mm isochrome film recovered by the Soviets from downed American Genetrix espionage balloons.

We made a jet engine!
*copies British and French designs*
We made a supersonic jet liner!
My disdain for these spammed, low effort RWBY (or whatever the fuck you call it) “memes” grows like a cancer
WHY do you keep spamming rwby gifs
Americans bragging about the SR-71 blackbird.
Americans when you ask them where they got the titanium.
Nowadays analog photography fans will pay even better money for that film.
One man’s failed spy balloon is another man’s lunar photography breakthrough.
Huge achievement either way, but yeah, the real flex was getting the film back intact. Space missions back then were as much about recovery as they were about the shot itself.
Improvise, adapt, overcome.
