The remote Kazakhstan town of Baikonur is a powerhouse of Russian space history. At the nearby Baikonur Cosmodrome, several notable space missions happened in the 1950s and 1960s —— it sent the first satellite to space in 1957, the first person to space in 1961 and the first woman to space in 1963. Here are some of the major space-related monuments around the town, which local guides say has a population of about 70,000.
