At the History Museum at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the backup Expedition 32/33 crewmembers share a moment to reflect at the “Gagarin Gazebo” July 7, 2012 where Russian space officials approved Yuri Gagarin to become the first human to fly in space 51 years ago. NASA Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn (left), Russian Soyuz Commander Roman Romanenko (center) and Flight Engineer Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency are the backups for NASA’s Sunita Williams, Yuri Malenchenko and Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, who will launch to the International Space Station July 15 from the Cosmodrome in their Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft.
