In October 2002, a Russian scientist named Dimitri Malashenkov stood up at a space conference in Houston and quietly explained that the dog Laika, whom the Soviet Union had publicly mourned as a heroic week-long orbiter in 1957, had actually died of heat and panic within about five hours of launch. The disclosure landed in a conference room, not on a front page. For 45 years, the official story had been that Laika circled Earth peacefully for days inside Sputnik 2 before her oxygen ran out or her food was deliberately laced with poison.

Just before 10 p.m. on 21 August 1986, a low rumble rolled across the hills above Lake Nyos in northwestern Cameroon, loud enough that survivors later described it as thunder in the distance.

On the morning of September 6, 1976, a Soviet Air Defense Forces lieutenant named Viktor Belenko shoved the throttles forward on a MiG-25 Foxbat, peeled away from a training flight over the Sea of Japan, and brought the most feared interceptor in the Soviet arsenal down on the runway at Hakodate Airport with fuel running critically low. He overran the tarmac, blew out the nose tire, drew a pistol, and asked for political asylum in the United States. The aircraft he delivered was the one Western air forces had been trying to photograph for nine years. American and Japanese engineers…
