Achille and Gian Battista Judica-Cordiglia built their own radio tower in Turin, Italy, intent on listening in on Soviet space missions. The recordings they produced seem to have been the horrifying last moments of many unnamed cosmonauts whose existence the Soviet Union strictly denied.

The first 2 audio clips (played before the episode intro) are allegedly the breathing and heartbeat of a dying Russian Cosmonaut. The recording at the very end of the episode is allegedly the final message of a female Russian cosmonaut as her craft goes out of control.
