Both Russia's space program and ours are very impressive, and I can't wait to see the next 50 years of space exploration. Here are some related photographs of the Cosmodrome (Russia's equivalent of JFK launch facilities in Florida) on the big picture from about 2 years ago.

Anybody have good collections of photo's of other space programs?
