Today we visited the museum of of Russian space flight at Baikonur. It's an impressive record of an active industry, dating back to before Sputnik and stretching to today. This involved a trip to the site to "plakata 0" where the original builders of the site stayed. This small cottage was used by Korolev, the first Chief Designer. A nearly identical cottage next door was used by Gagarin and his backup in the days before his historic flight.
