Rivals in Space: How Russia and the USA Collaborated Amidst the Cold War

[Makomo]

The island called Tomorrow Island is situated in Russia and the island called Yesterday Isle/Island is only in USA but there is a three hours difference between them but there is a time difference of 21 hours between them. This is because they are located on two sides of the International Date Line, which is the line in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that divide one calendar day from the other.

Wow, mind blown! It's crazy how something as simple as an imaginary line in the Pacific Ocean can create such a big time gap between two islands. And to think, amidst all the tension of the Cold War, Russia and the USA still found a way to collaborate even in space exploration. Talk about turning rivalry into progress!
