Gen. Thomas Stafford, the Apollo-Soyuz commander who flew on Apollo 10 and Gemini missions, weighs in on cooperation in space.
On March 17, 2022, Apollo astronaut Gen. Thomas Stafford, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and NASA astronaut G. Reid Wiseman, the current head of NASA's astronaut office. "Two general officers rendezvoused and docked in space in the middle of the Cold War," Nelson said."That crew lived together in space for nine days. And, as a result of that, it broke the ice.
"Something that's important to highlight just from my own personal perspective is that the day before I launched — Leonov knew I was a rookie, and he came, put his arm around me, and he was like, 'Here's what you're going to feel. And here's what you're going to need to do,'" Wiseman told Space.com.
But Stafford's work to foster international collaboration in space didn't end with Apollo-Soyuz. While missions like STS-71 saw the shuttle program come together with Mir, the most significant international partnership in space to date, for any country, is with the International Space Station. The space station partnership includes the U.S., Russia, the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency as well as the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
