^^^^^^^
If I recall correctly what was said in James Oberg's _Red Star in Orbit_,
the city of Baikonur doesn't even exist! It was a cover-up (that they're
still using) to keep the US (and others) from knowing their exact launch
site (then Tyrantrum[sp]).
Now my question: where is the true place that the Soviet shuttle (and other
space shots) is launched from? I seem to recall hearing one time about two
locations. Latitude and Longitude would be nice to know, too.
