Vostok 8K72K Rocket

The Vostok 8K72K rocket displayed at VDNKh.

I think I recorded it once on this blog already but these are different pictures and they are from April 2016.

The Vostok 8K72K was a rocket derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka ICBM designed for the human spaceflight programme.

This and similar rockets launched the first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1) and the first manned spacecraft (Vostok) in human history.

Here it is seen at the VDNKh exhibition center in April 2016.

VreMax: Moscow Today on April 24, 2015

 Views of Moscow on a cellphone taken on 24 April 2015.

Quoting from my other blog.


Today went for a meal out in center of Moscow - here are pictures I made with my mobile phone on the way there -- photos of Moscow today the twenty fourth day of April in the year two thousand and fifteen, the Christ the Savior Cathedral, bridges over the Moskva river, views on the Kremlin, etc.

Christ the Savior Cathedral

The weather is on the cold side for the time.

On the bridge across the Moskva river at, I think, Bersenyevskaya naberezhnaya.

Some views on the Kreml (or Kremlin) on the other side.

Another bridge.

Later that evening and closer to my current home in north Moscow, half-drunk on Sake.
