rockwoodOne of my friends linked me to these photos this morning; they're a bunch of shots to do with Russia's space program and the city of Baikonur in Kazakhstan, which is "an entire Kazakh city, rented and administered by Russia."
Some of them (especially picture 1) have a cool steampunk look, which increases if you pretend the thing is meant to stay on the railroad tracks :-)
However, 21-23 make me think: Fallout! It's like the old saying goes. "Live in Russia instead of playing post-apocalyptic RPGs."
Also, there's one great comment in reference to picture 22, which shows cows on the launchpad. There's a bunch of jokes in the comments, of course, but...a picture of cows in a spacesport? "the herd shot 'round the world!" (thanks to the commenter identified as Ellen).
And now...to go coordinate a group project at the university library...hooboy.
Blessed be,
