With St. Basil’s Cathedral providing a fitting backdrop, the Expedition 33/34 prime crewmembers arrive at the Kremlin Wall in Moscow’s Red Square September 25, 2012 to conduct the traditional laying of flowers at the site where Russian space icons are interred, including Yuri Gagarin, the first human to fly in space, and Sergei Korolev, Russia’s Great Designer. From left to right are Russian Flight Engineer Evgeny Tarelkin, Soyuz Commander Oleg Novitskiy and NASA Flight Engineer Kevin Ford. The trio will launch October 23 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in their Soyuz TMA-06M spacecraft for a five-month mission on the International Space Station.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A tunnel beneath Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida leads to the blast-resistant "rubber room." The room is a steel dome floating on rubber isolators and was used as an escape route during the Apollo Program in case of an emergency. It has since been abandoned by astronauts, but throughout the years nature found its way inside, including raccoons, snakes, birds and even a bobcat and opossum. Starting in 2009, the structure above the room on the pad was no longer needed for NASA's Space Shuttle Program, so it is being restructured for future use. The new design will feature a "clean pad" for rockets to come with their own launcher, making it more versatile for a number of vehicles. For information on NASA's future plans, visit www.nasa.gov.
