Summary 'A Place to call Home': The concepts of space flight in the minds of the early pioneers of aeronautical engineering were twofold. They dreamed not only of a means of getting into space, but also of having somewhere to go, to dock while in space. The idea of a space station, a "place to call home" was born, and the Soviets were the first to put this idea into practice. Their first station was a complete success, that is until the astronauts were killed trying to leave it to return to Earth. Subsequent efforts, including the world famous Mir, have been far more successful, even inspiring design among US docking stations.
