Talk:Soyuz 5

Shotguns
I've read that after one Soyuz landing in the middle of nowhere, every subsequent mission included a shotgun on board in case of wolf attack. Is this true? Was Soyuz 5 the inspiration? Tempshill 20:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The original of the story is probably Voskhod 2 in 1965, which always mentions wolves around the spacecraft (I suspect they may have heard wolves from a distance, but never SAW any). I've never heard of any spacecraft having a SHOTGUN; occasionally one runs across rumors of pistols being carried aboard for defense (in BOTH American and Russian craft), which may actually be a confusion with flare pistols.

First Docking?
It says in the article that Soyuz 5 and 4 were the first spacecraft to dock together, although this had been done years earlier in the Gemini Program —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.86.136.124 (talk) 20:19, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * They might mean docking between two simliar craft (Gemini dockings were between Gemini and the smaller, unmanned Agena). Even that would be wrong though: the first actual space docking was by Cosmos 186 & 188 (which were unmanned Soyuz) in 1966, somewhat before the Gemini 8 docking. Soyuz 4 and 5 were the first time that two MANNED spacecraft docked to each other. Either way, the wording was poor. CFLeon (talk) 19:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
