When you grow up you want to be... an astronaut?

Who did you want to become when you were little? I bet a lot of you said Astronauts, I have friend who want to be alien when he grows up. I can't really say I am a grownup (not age wise for sure) but I am always curious about space. That is my little excuse to be posting this today: sharing my experience from Zvezdny Gorodok (or Star City) in Moscow region. It is a place established and opened by the famous Yury Gagarin (first man is space) and it still accommodates astronauts before and after they trips. For example not long before there were people from India there. And they also have a super interesting museum. People who work there are very passionate about their job so you don't need much to get them talking. I received a good story about salmon suit just because I stared at it longer than she thought uninterested person would do. It is intended for water but was never used as there never was a water landing case. Except of one time when two people landed on a lake in early 90s but it was frozen. The scary part if that the boat was upside down and people were afraid to open it if the astronauts are alive. They were ok but tired because they handed upsidedown for hours.
Below you can find a tour to the museum with my favorite shots












Salmon suit photo turned out a little awkward with the reflection of my friend in there but it still need to be posted as well because I told you a story about it.
 
The reason I visited it this otherwise closed town is to run! It was the last in the series and I am happy. It was fun to run almost each weekend during almost two months but frankly I am a bit tired to have weekend all prepped up for a run early in the morning. I am not enough of tourism though! I have plans to have no plans but greeting my husband back home for the upcoming weekend and I couldn't more excited about it. It's nice to be able to be spontaneous for a change. 



My outfit is super casual and there is nothing about it to actually say it. The weather was pretty nice so I didn't mind enjoying it but being post run during not exactly hot day made me wear extra layers. It might be nice, for a change as well.


 

Have a nice day,
Lyosha

  6. That looks like a very interesting museum. Actually, when I visited Moscow, I did see a replica of a spaceship in Gorki Park. That was pretty cool.

  7. Мало самого космоса. Не хватает макетов галактики)) или чего-нибудь такого, но все равно познавательно.

    1. музей именно про космонавтов, а не просто про космос. там очень много экспедиции и прочее. Галактика, конечно, не помешала бы, но гордятся они именно подготовкой кадров. И кабинетом Гагарина.

  19. I didn't have an opportunity to visit this place, but would love to. I've been reading a lot about Gagarin's death and the reasons behind it. Watched a ton of documentaries. Fascinating.

  20. Space is fascinating. Now I am homeschooling three year old kids who want to be an astronaut and explore space. I'm sure they would love to go to this place. :)

  21. I loved your pictures and those spacesuits looks super duper cool. I am guilty in saying I wanted to be an astronaut growing up. Or an astronomer more specifically. Hahaha. Now, i guess reading about them is the next best thing!

  25. This is awesome and looks like it was such an amazing experience! I know I never really wanted to be an astronaut because I was honestly kind of scared of going into space. LOL However, I would love to visit that museum!

  26. My 8-year-old is currently saying he wants to be an astronaut! I am tasked with finding him an astronaut costume this week!

  27. I think everyone wants to be an astronaut when they're little. Then reality hits and as you grow up you realize that being an astronaut is another level of commitment and not meant for most. Nice pictures.

  28. Who didn't want to be an astronaut growing up? :) Really cool museum!

    1. thanks! It was not that easy you know, I did't have zero g to pose!
      and thanks for mentioning running. It is a great fitness activity for me: it is outdoors so I enjoy beautiful views, it's affordable, it provides me with me time and I don't have to go anywhere to do it, just leave the door. I find organized runs a great motivation to keep up, without it it is hard sometimes to push yourself to do better for yourself

  33. Good thing we can still be growing up and became who we want to be! It's never too late.

  37. I did not want to be an astronaut. I wanted to be a singer. I still sing, just not professionally. I would love to visit there as well, looks like a lot of fun.

  39. Congratulations on another run in the books! I love the colour of that top on you - it's so much fun!
    I would love visiting a museum like this. While I never pictured myself as an astronaut growing up, I have always been fascinated with the idea of space travel and the science behind it all. If I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely need to check it out!

  41. At some point in life even I wanted to be an Astronaut. That is such a cool museum, especially for someone who loves space studies and astronauts.

  42. What fun it would be to travel among the stars. I wanted to be a teacher, or singer/actor when I grew up. Funny how now I approach 50 in a few years that I still don't feel "grown up".

  43. One of my daughters enjoys everything related to astronaut. She would enjoy this trip. Thanks for sharing with us.

  44. I always knew I wanted to be something to do with the arts (singer, writer, etc), but I am still SUPER fascinated with space and the thought of being an astronaut! As an adult, I am even more aware of the fact that I could *not* cut it in space 😅 but I am so amazed at everyone who aspires to go up there and change life as we know it, and I'd love to visit some of the awesome museums that are around the world!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love museums and I've never been to an astronaut/space one. This looks very interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love that you were able to take some time during your weekend for a fun visit to the space museum! I love to see all your posts about running as well. You are definitely dedicated and always improving. I'm looking forward to hear more about your future runs and see your progress.

Explore Starcon

I'm going to brake up vacation post series to share the Starcon experience. A week ago I was sitting on the same spot and getting ready to go. We've been to lovely Saint  Petersburgh. We managed to have a charming walk in the  evening even right after the con. Starcon was all about sci-fi and we loved it so much. We even wore the Jedi costumes (wait for them in the end of post). Max, my lovely husband, sewed them for only 3 days (that's why the design is so simple). and I also got 2d place in Star Wars Miniatures board game tournament took place there. I'm so happy! As for outfit - I've chosen a super comfy outfit with a very cool pants! I bought them on ebay and they are more than 20 year old pants (I guess soon they could buy booze on their own but I doubt I need it). I love them for their shape - keeping me cool during hot and warm when needed. Oh, and can I also call it my pijama pants trend pants? or not? What I also wanted to mention you are my fab set jewel

Say 'yes' to a dress with Yesbabyonline

When you start on inspiration posts it hard to spot. At least for me. I feel like I am half awake in my bed, feeling super lazy and have to strict plans for the morning so I am hitting the 'snooze' button. I almost hear myself saying 'five more minutes' and I do mean five more minutes but I fail and hit 'show me more' button. Inspiration from online shops devour me. Yes it is budget friendly (you don't need to buy things even though you do want to) but it is not safe for your time. I can't really say I am against it, it is a good to relax and is also useful if you need to wait for your partner to finish some stuff to do. This evening it works especially well because I am waiting for my husband to finish the page. I am more or less limited by time so my online inspiration will be most pleasing. As always I wanted to set up a topic to make it even better. My topic for today is long formal dresses . Out of tons of online shop I picked the best for me toda

МКММ + Couture Fashion Show

So! I am so very excited! I have visited my first real actual fashion show ever since March and I couldn’t ever be happier. It’s just wow! This time I visited MKMM final shows merged with Couture Fashion Show later that night. I had a chance to see many wonderful shows by young and talented designers and enjoyed it a lot. Creativity everywhere. Something is purely catwalk (and I totally don’t mind it at all), something that is very easy to imagine rushing the streets, something very creative and futuristic and making a statement with so much in between. Overall in love. I don’t think I really can be picky because after all those digital shows real made a huge impression on me. It almost as if I am visiting my first ever fashion show but better because I know what to expect. I think you are not reading this and already scrolled past this point and enjoy the contestants. And don’t blame you at all.  RU: Прекрасные новости! Мой первый настоящий офлайн показ с марта месяца. И он оказася пр
