"3... 2... 1... Liftoff!" The Russian Soyuz 4 fired it's engines, and lifted itself off the ground. Hundreds of men clapped as the rocket gained height. Years of calculating, planning, construction, and adjustments led to this. This was a great step in Russian history. The Russian Federation had required and recieved assistance, of course, from many other countries, such as the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. This marked the beginning of a new era for Russia. It had suffered since the Soviet Union Collapsed. No longer. Russia was once again a great country. A rocket of epic proportions was on it's way to the moon. Men, women, and children across Russia cheered, clapped, whistled, and showed their joy as Soyuz 4 made it's way into outer space. Many people around the world did the same.

No one knew the dark secret that laid in Soyuz 4's hold.
