‘Cosmonauts: Birth of the Space Age’ at London’s Science Museum is not only showing off only some of Russia’s most impressive technology from the Soviet era but also helping adjust the cultural narrative of the space race itself. The exhibition’s curators, Doug Millard and Alexandra Smirnova, discuss why star power still captures the public’s imagination.
