KAZAKHSTAN'S SPACESHIP JUNKYARD (EurasiaNet Photo Essay, 2002)

I just came across a three-year-old posting about space junk from Baykonur.
Sorry for the delay or for my not noticing (or forgetting -- it's happening
more
often these years!!) that somebody else had already posted it.

Photos # 3-4 I knew there had to be a lot of R-7 strap-on boosters lying
around out there somewhere.
What the hell is photo # 11 about? Did the cattle get too near some
Proton fuel, or were they shot for counterrevolutionary sympathies?

Those are the cows that jumped over the moon, but their parachutes
failed.

....Cue Farmer Geo to tell us the story of Ivan and Maria Kentovich,
two Kazak farmers who found a calf inside of a crashed rocket on their
farm.

They were on the circumlunar rocket.


It was the herd shot 'round the Moon.


You set me up for this.

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the
moon. The little dog stood like a sentry, but alas the cow burned up on
re-entry.
