"On the go" is the podcast of the evening edition of Ouest-France. Every evening, find in audio three infos and the history of the day.
August 28, 1999. Russian cosmonauts Victor Afanassiev and Sergei Avdeiev, and Frenchman Jean-Pierre Haigneré leave the Russian space station Mir. At the time, their mission is presented as the last, in these aging facilities. But a few months later, two Russian cosmonauts return on board. They are doing work on site, to extend the life of the space station. This misunderstood mission highlights a project that, at the time, seemed totally surreal: "privatize", in a way, Mir.
