| There are conflicting sources about origins of the name "Baikonur". Some sources say that it was not until 1961 (i.e. until Gagarin's flight), when the name "Baikonur" was deliberately chosen to misdirect[2][3] the West to a place about 320 kilometers (199 mi) northeast of the launch centre, a small mining town Baikonur near Jezkazgan. Other sources state that "Baikonur" was a name of the Tyuratam region even before the cosmodrome existed.[3] Interestingly, the main cosmodrome-supporting town Leninsk was renamed to Baikonur on December 20, 1995 by Boris Yeltsin. jeu de poker a telechargerMLM opportunities | |
