Interesting. Put through Google translate to get idea of what is going
on in decaying structu


Just yesterday, June 2, 2015, was 60 years old cradle of world space and
the largest domestic space harbor - cosmodrome Baikonur. Over the years,
its territory has been tested many different spacecraft, the apex of
which was the system of "Energia-Buran". But history has chosen its path
and the project died in infancy.

More than two decades ago, the last time to close the heavy sliding door
of the MKS - installation and filling of the complex, cut off from the
alluring star sky two orbiting spacecraft. There is an easy irony that
the birthplace of those who had to surf the cosmic expanses, became
their tomb and the crypt.

I'm a spaceflight junkie and me and my brother had some NASA surplus back in the 1960's and early 1970's. The stuff would sell for a lot of money on eBay if we still had it. It's somewhere back on the family farm in pieces because we had to take it apart to see how it worked. The quality of the workmanship was amazing. ^_^
