EDIT, 7/19/2011: English Russia has put up quite the assortment of, erm, NSFW ads and posts on their revamped site, so although I will continue to provide a link to this article, I have also saved the post sans girly pics as a PDF for all-ages viewing. Download it here.
EnglishRussia.com presents over 70 photos of the Russian Space Museum, with many artifacts and mockups from the Soviet space age. Interesting stuff, enjoy! (The statue of Yuri Gagarin insists you enjoy your visit.)

The New York Times has a flash-based guide to the Soyuz spacecraft — think DK Eyewitness Guide, but animated. Very cool, worth paging through!

These surprisingly modern-looking stamps actually hail from 1969. (I’m absolutely in love with them.) Issued for Cosmonautics Day.

Today’s stamps come from the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, and commemorate last year’s 50th anniversary of Sputnik 1 and 100th anniversary of the birth of Sergey Korolyov (Sergei Korolev), rocket engineer and driving force behind Soviet space endeavors.
