Talk:Gagarin's Start

message: Pictures I have seen of the site often reveal the presence of a huge pit, with the launch pad perched on the edge. See e.g. this image. This gives it a very different appearance from the launch complex at Cape Canaveral, for example. What's the reason for this pit, and what's the history behind it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beorhtwulf (talk • contribs) 19:37, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huge pit 

message: 2 different dates: 21 August 1957 in article, 15 May in infobox.
According to http://www.astronautix.com/sites/baikonur.htm the first start took place on 15 May, but the booster crashed 400 km from the pad. However I think it can be considered as first start. First successful start took place on 21 August indeed. Can someone who knows english better than me correct it in the article? Pikador (talk) 09:59, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The Soyuz 7K-ST No.16L article claims that the failure of that rocket caused $300M damage to this launch facility, but doesn't cite a source for that - does anyone have a reference for the actual cost?  Also, the repairs would mean lots of downtime: that appears to be the case, as preceeding Soyuz-T launches all started at LC1 but T-10, T-11, and T-12 all launched from LC31/6 instead, before T-13 launched from LC1 (suggesting a downtime of about 20 months).  Do we have any info about this time, what they did, and how long it took? -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 17:57, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
