Just adding another Me Too.
This was so stunning that I spent the last couple of days thinking about it to
the point I dug out the movie and watched it again. I thought I'd point out that
they do, in fact, refer to it as Discovery I at the very least in the TV
interview that they watch near the beginning of the segment (I think they do it
again, but I'm not 100% certain). That would be in keeping with spaceflight of
the day where every craft had a name and number.
So you're not wrong (even though I see you've already renamed it).
Fantastic work!
Now build the Leonov... ;)
