Starting with yesterday’s card we have two weeks of cards written during our recent trip to Bombay. I took with me to India a set of postcards recently unearthed from a trip I took to Russia twenty years ago, in the midst of the fall of the Soviet Union. It was part of a trip with a UK ‘Space School’ that I had attended over the summer, and we took in much of Russia’s rich cosmonaut and space-faring history.
I couldn’t, however, remember why I had bought these cards, nor could I decipher the Russian script on the back of them. I scanned in one of them, put it into an image search and bingo there it was. Kaluga, a town about 150km from Moscow, home to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, rocket science pioneer and a large space museum. It stirred memories of a visit to a museum celebrating the achievements of their cosmonauts.
Look out for more Kaluga cards over this week and next.
