Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42988 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 02-13-2015 08:31 AM Per "First Man," Armstrong's trip to Russia was in May 1970. Serving as his hosts were Georgy T. Beregovoy and Konstantin P. Feoktistov, the cosmonauts whose goodwill visit to America came two months after Apollo 11.
