The Russian Moon Landing Tea Towel

A shiny, golden fractal image, sort of a cross between a Fresnel lens and a bird cage, represent a Soviet-era lunar landing module. The image is superimposed on an a background resembling the dark side of the moon and stars. Russian text reading "Лунный корабль" - moon ship, or lunar ship, also appears, bracketing a red star. The Soviet Union developed a lunar lander intending to land two cosmonauts on the moon before the United States could do so. The vehicle was successfully tested in earth orbit four times. Development problems with the rocket intended to take it to the moon led to the cancellation of the USSR's manned lunar program.
