Go now with us on a journey, to take apart of one of the greatest and largest adventures of mankind. At first, you will feel the great Russian hospitality in Star City, then walk with us on the steps of the journey of the Russian space history from the past, into present and out into the future. You visit the different trainings facilities of the GCTC (Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre) at Russian Star City. Here, Russians, Americans, Europeans and Japanese cosmonauts and astronauts train for their flight into the universe, what will start at the Russian cosmodrome "Baykonur" in Kazhakhztan. From this cosmodrome, the first satellite of the World - "Sputnik" was launched (1957), and since the first human space flight of Yuri A. Gagarin (12. April 1961), from this port there were over 1.200 spacecrafts launched into the universe. Then, the absolute high point of your journey: the start of a manned mission to the International Space Station ISS. 2 or 3 daring cosmonauts and astronauts from different nations go on board a Soyuz TMA, and within 8 minutes they are with their space craft in Earth orbit. 2 days later they will dock with the ISS. You will see the lift off preperations, and watch the liftoff in a distance of approx. 2.000 meters beside the powerful Soyuz rocket. Nowhere else in the world, you can see a liftoff of an spacecraft nearer then here. Specialists from space technology and history will accompany you around the clock on your trip. Locally specialists are beside you, who will answer you the difficult questions. Book it now: http://www.space-travellers.co...

And so NOW that you understand what 'hospitality' means, you will see what I meant with my comment, that russian hospitality is good towards people that have the money. pizda jedna.

In USA there are ONLY the capitalists hospitality. If you are ill and have no money in USA, you will die propably.We have both types! Our free hospitals are not so bad as you think. Every russian has personal compulsory insurance (not high taxes) by witch he can afford high-quality treatment and nessasary medicine in free hospital. You will be allways examined and get basic treatment if you don't have anything absolutly for free.P.S. Our free education is much better than capitalist one

Didn't mean to hog the commentary, but I had another thought... If Russia uses the Kourou facility, they won't be able to have an exhaust pit as in Baikonur. In the tropics, it would soon fill up with water, hosting crocodiles, snakes and pirahna. I told you manned space flight was dangerous !

There something that I feel sorry for the gound crew about... preparing for a winter launch while on the Kazakh steppes. I think I know why they want to launch from ESA's facility in S. America. Yes equatorial launches are more efficient for max. payloads, but lets face it... I think anyone would settle for tropical sun over frostbite!Iced tea, Sasha ?

I think he (Korolyov) would be quite proud tosee his launcher still be the safest ride to the skies and above, after all these years.sputnikGagarinSoyuzA Legacy that will live forever i hope.

To bad we can't talk to Korolev about that hospitality during his stay at a Soviet gulag.... it's a miracle that this rocket was even designed.

..."At first, you will feel the great Russian hospitality in Star City"Russian hospitality. Is this a joke?! Oh, you mean the capitalists hospitality. Yeah, go to a Russia without any money and you will see their hospitality. NOT

Hi heterocycle: I'm from Arizona. It's not really a country... but it takes a while to ride across it ! Have you seen the Delta rocket lift-off - view from rocket by rgz500 ?It's worth watching... I appreciate anybody who can make a payload move at five miles per second. It's no small feat.
