We really can't say enough good things here at PointNiner about the Boston Globe's photo-blog, The Big Picture. I could almost swear that Alan Taylor's job is to feed this blog with big, beautiful and relevant photos. This time he's done a great piece on the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan where the Russian Space Agency launches all of their manned and unmanned systems. You almost feel like you're watching the Space Race unveil before your eyes in some of these photos. The photographers do an excellent job capturing that "Cold War in a bottle" essence here.

Ahh, Proton...my favorite Russian giant.
Doesn't it look like this Soyuz spacecraft is just suspended in mid air?
