Baikonur and Vostochny through our own lenses
Thank you, Cosmo Travel, for organizing such a great tour of the Baikonur Cosmodrome between launches! Everything was planned down to the last detail: the transfer, the schedule, and the guide’s assistance. I was particularly impressed by the “Gagarin Launch,” the “Buran” spacecraft, and the “Zenit” launch complex. We had an amazing time and learned so much. I definitely recommend this to anyone who dreams of seeing the legendary cosmodrome with their own eyes!
A huge thank you to the organizers of this tour. They welcome you and are practically by your side from start to finish)) They make your time as comfortable as possible, taking tourists’ wishes into account—even going so far as to help you find ground squirrels)) Everyone is friendly, helpful, and fun!
Friends, we’ve gone through our first space mission and are now one step closer to space! Thank you for making this grown-up girl’s dream come true. Keep dreaming—and your dreams will come true! And to all you restless adventurers out there, thank you for the day we shared! Manned Angara, we’re coming for you!
This tour will definitely be a memory I’ll cherish for a long time! Thank you for giving me the chance to visit the spaceport—on Cosmonautics Day, I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes how rockets are assembled and learn some interesting facts about the city of Tsiolkovsky. Next time, I’ll go with you to watch a rocket launch.
A big thank you to the organizers for giving us the chance to make a child's dream come true. Everything was great—I'll try to come back again!
We were there, we filmed there—it was so cool! You can't really understand it just from hearing about it; you have to go and see it for yourself. We're really glad we got to experience it.
