Operation AXIOM: The 50th Anniversary of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project
Save Ferris, "Sorry My Friend" from It Means Everything (Space Cadet Mike Papa DSKY)
Skammentary: The Americans called the enterprise the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The Soviets called the enterprise both Experimental Flight Union*-Apollo (Eksperimentalniy polyot "Soyuz"–"Apollon") & Soyuz 19. Despite the Soyuz 19 designation, & contrary to some claims, the American flight was not "Apollo 18." (Apollo 18 was a cancelled Apollo mission to the Moon—originally slated to continue through Apollo 20, until budget cuts forced the lamentable cancellation of missions.)
*Soyuz is Russian for "union."
