...more information than on any previous launching. In Moscow, TIME'S Gordon Joseloff assessed detente propaganda surrounding the mission, and provided biographies of the Soyuz cosmonauts. Atlanta Correspondent David Lee reported on the scene and personalities at NASA's mission control center in Houston. Aerospace Correspondent Jerry Hannifin furnished the "specs" of U.S. and Soviet space hardware. Reporter-Researcher Janice Castro verified details ranging from what the American astronauts will have for dessert (rehydratable peach ambrosia) to the mechanics of the "androgynous" docking module that will link the Soviet and American vehicles...
