A victim of Stalin's 1938 Great Purge, he was imprisoned for almost six years, including some months in a Siberian gulag. Following his release, he became a rocket designer and a key figure in the development of the Soviet ICBM program. He was then appointed to lead the Soviet space program, overseeing the early successes of the Sputnik and Vostok projects. By the time he died unexpectedly in 1966, his plans to compete with the United States to be the first nation to land a man on the Moon had begun to be implemented.(wikipedia)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_KorolyovThis video has been uploaded for educational purposes and all rights belong to the BBC
