CommentsWe made it to Moscow safe and sound a bit after noon
today. Even our luggage arrived on time -- a major
plus! One major impression so far -- Moscow's traffic is
amazingly congested! It took us nearly two hours to reach our
hotel from the airport. Definitely not a place I'd be itching
to get a rental car ... We've met the rest of our group, as
well as our local Russian guide. This is going to be a very
fun group to spend the next ten days exploring the Russian Space
Program with!
Tomorrow will be spent at Star City -- the training facility for
Russia's cosmonaut corps (as well as the American astronauts
heading to the International Space Station aboard Russian Soyuz
spacecraft). Should have lots to report on tomorrow
evening. Until then, check out the slideshow above with a few
shots from our brief time here.
