Happy Birthday Baikonur!
 
Russia's main space station, the Cosmodrome at Baikonur, celebrates its fiftieth anniversary today, 02-JUN-05.

The first satellite, Sputnik 1, and the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, both launched from the site in what is now Kazakhstan.

One More Year!
 
Pro-whaling nations, led by Japan, have lost a vote at the International Whaling Commission meeting on a proposal which could have led to a resumption of commercial whaling.

It looks like the moratorium on commercial whaling in place since 1986 will remain in place for at least one more year. :)
