This summer my family visited Russia. One of the highlights of our trip was the visit to
The Cosmonautics Memorial Museum in Moscow.
I wanted to share some pictures :0). When teaching space science, it is always good to know both sides of the "space race". The experience was simply amazing!!! Enjoy :0)

The base of The Cosmonautics Memorial Museum. Look at the details and see. Even though it was Gagarin who was the first man in space, it took a group of people, a healthy team to send him there!!! |
