The Real Star Wars - Cold War in Space

Killer satellites. Cosmic soldiers. Nuclear explosions in outer space: Projects out of a Hollywood script for Star Wars. To military planners in the USA and Russia, these scenarios are part of the true race for space.

Long before Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon, generals on both sides of the Iron Curtain had started to reach for the stars. To date, the military secrets behind the triumphs of civil spaceflight unfold.

For the first time on TV, the son of the mightiest man in the history of the Soviet Union speaks out. Rocket engineer Sergej Khrushchev, son of the legendary Nikita, took part in some of the most secret projects of the USSR. In a VIDICOM exclusive, he unveils the true scope of cold war in space: Several times, the world stood on the brink of World War Three.

On the American side, prominent eye witnesses like leading NASA scientist and strategic planner Jesco von Puttkamer take us to the backstage area of international politics in dramatic times.

We also take a look at the National Reconnaissance Office. To this day, this top-secret agency controls all American espionage satellites, and is a driving force behind space-laser projects like SDI - ideas that seem all the more current as the "New Missile Defense" hits the international agenda.
