Before their journey into space, every astronaut writes his/her's name and date on the wall of the Baikonur museum, next to a image depicting a rocket launch. Another image of the sort is also in the museum, but framed becouse there was no room left for astronauts to sign. On the day of the launch, a snow storm spoiled the event for us, but I could still feel the heat coming from the rocket.
