## Caption

Dynamic business. This photo shows the Baikonur Cosmodrome, with my friends Alexey and Nick in their rocket on Gagarin's launch pad (lower left corner), a mere 3 minutes before their aborted launch. We launched from the same pad on 6 June this year. / Anders als geplant. Dieses Foto zeigt das Baikonur-Kosmodrom mit meinen Freunden Nick und Alexey, in ihrer Rakete (li. unten) auf Gagarins Startplattform, nur 3 Minuten vor ihrem abgebrochenen Start. Wir sind am 6. Juni 2018 von derselben Plattform aus gestartet.
