Out of This World

Have you ever wanted to go to a space-station in real life? Well the people of Baikonur basically have one in their backyard. The Baikonur Cosmodrome is the largest space-station in the world and is located in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This name is very misleading however. Baikonur is small town about 200 miles northeast of the space-station. The former Soviet Union intentionally made this misleading name so that it was harder to find the exact location of this amazing launch pad. The Baikonur Cosmodrome was founded in 1955 and is one the the two major Russian Federations space-stations. Many people say that going to a space station is very nerdy, but I think it could be one of the interesting places you could ever go. What do you think?
