A must see BBC programme of where the space race may be taking us…
George Carey’s film shows how the Russian space programme was kick-started by a mystic who taught that science would make us immortal, and carried forward by a scientist who believed that we should evolve into super-humans who could leave our overcrowded planet to colonise the universe. Stranger still, Carey shows how those ideas have survived Communism and adapted themselves to the science of the modern world.

Epic film in two episodes, based on a true story of creation and development of Russian space and missile industry.
I can’t find this film in English, but if you want, I can give links to the Russian version.
