JSC2012-E-099593 (7 July 2012) --- At the History Museum at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the backup Expedition 32 crew members share a moment to reflect at the "Gagarin Gazebo" July 7, 2012 where Russian space officials approved Yuri Gagarin to become the first human to fly in space 51 years ago.
