Here’s the situation: I am thinking about setting a scene my next novel in the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and I need to know some details about it that I can’t seem to find online. I am throwing this out to the masses and hoping someone here knows something beyond the surface detail, since I doubt I am going to be road-tripping to the Kazakh steppes for a look-see.
Here’s what I need to know:
1)Is there any significant portion of the structure that’s built underground?
2)I know they’ve used the Cosmodrome to test ICBMs…did they launch them from launch gantries or silos?
