Silence and tragedy echo from Turin space watchers
In Turin two Italian hobbyists maintain a Torino area satellite station recording Soviet space signals. They claim to have tracked flights since 1960 and recorded the last words of a cosmonaut on May 22, 1961, while alleging many Soviet deaths remain unacknowledged. The Cordiglia brothers say they monitored tunes from space and maintain a growing archive of space fatalities, questioning official silence.
