While Star City, Russia will become the only viable gateway for humans to get to orbital space whether they be Russian, American, or some other nationality next year, excepting the Chinese, the Russian government has declared 2011 the Year of the Cosmonaut to add oomph to the 50th anniversary of Yuri Garagin's first orbital human flight next April 12th.
Star City is where the training facilities for all who fly aboard a Soyuz spacecraft that will soon become the only vehicle to dock at the International Space Station with the retirement of the space shuttle after only two more scheduled launches later this year.
Those planning a trek into Russia in the next 18-months or so may wish to consider a visit to Star City to get a piece of space history first hand since - Star City is where the first commercial cosmonauts trained for the Mir Corp flight, all of the commercial space flight participants in this first decade of the 21st century and many-a-government sponsored cosmonaut and astronaut from around the globe over the past fifty years have been to prepare for their orbital journeys. There may even be commercial spaceflight participants planning to circle the Moon in 2011 who will train at Star City soon.
The Star City Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center has engaged programs for the hearty and less intensive tours of the varied Russian space museums and space facilities available to foreign tourists including the Russian International Space Station Mission Control Center outside of Moscow a few miles. And, if you have $30-million and lots of time to spare, you may find yourself trained at Star City and on your way to the Baikonur Cosmodrome's launch pad.
