jul 15, 1975 - An American and a USSR spacecraft joined.
Description:
It was a very symbolic moment, the two opposed powers joined and this showed to the whole world that they are capable of collaboration in some subjects like astronomy.
The handshake of the two captains, Alexeï Leonov, from USSR and Thomas Stafford, from the USA, was also very meaningful.
