Soyuz en Baikonur

[[image: soyuz.jpg]]

The Boston Globe:

When NASA's last scheduled Space Shuttle mission lands in June of 2010, the United States will not have the capability to get astronauts into space again until the scheduled launch of the new Orion spacecraft in 2015. Over those five years, the U.S. manned space program will be relying heavily on Russia and its Baikonur Cosmodrome facility in Kazakhstan. Baikonur is an entire Kazakh city, rented and administered by Russia. The Cosmodrome was founded in 1955, making it one of the oldest space launch facilites still in operation. Here are collected some photographs of manned and unmanned launches from Baikonur over the past several years.

Baikonur Cosmodrome pica's. Zie trouwens ook remote other article ("Raketten In Kazachstan, Fotoreportage")

En hoezo kun je niet gewoon een trein gebruiken om astronouten in de ruimte te krijgen? The Яight Stuff.
