Destination: Galaxy!

Timed to coincide with the pioneering exploits of Artemis II in April 2026, Destination: Galaxy! looks at the earliest days of space exploration, when Moscow-aligned Hungary followed the progress of Vostok, Yuri Gagarin and the Soviet cosmonauts years before the Americans left Earth's orbit. Hungary has its own cosmonaut, Bertalan Farkas, who held the nation in thrall when he became the first Magyar in space in 1980. Photographs, original artefacts and interviews recall the thrill of the moment, with mainly English-friendly documentation.
