It is possible to fill "proton" with curiosity.
The human passion to sharp sensations to become capable
Solid monetary source of space programs of Russia.
Show me rocket start, I will present to you the "Rolleks".
Ilan ben Joseph,
The Israeli tourist whom have not let in to Baikonur.
Tourism is beaten out in group of the largest spheres of business. On
To the forecast of analysts of the World tourist organisation, by 2005
In this branch it will be made the goods and services for the sum 7,2
Billion dollars. The productive leisure industry already outright influences
On economic growth, investments and international trade.
Tourism in a zone of a strict mode.
National board on aeronautics and research
Space of the USA already became one of the largest
Subjects of tourist business in the world. Total
Visitors of all pavilions of Florida "Baikonur" for a year
Has made over 26 million persons at the average price of the ticket 25
Dollars. Assortment of a souvenir bench in 8 thousand names
Induces each tourist to leave still from 100 to 200 dollars.
Proceeding from the resulted data, it is easy to present, what
The multi-billion rain spills on adjoining to the space
To the centre of territory in the form of tax deductions. Would be the uttermost
Utopia to put before itself a problem to catch up and overtake in it
Question America. While to us is unreal to compete in tourist industry and
With the cosmodrome located in the French Guiana.
Among entered struggle for the "space" tourist -
Japan. Maintaining a class of the most easy rockets, it it is active
Uses image of space power in the advertising purposes. India
Has switched on in rounds for Europeans visiting of space objects.
Question, whether Russia and Kazakhstan have the right and further to remain
Away from participation in so profitable business, sounds
Rhetorically.
Prisoners between RK and the Russian Federation contracts on a space complex
"Baikonur" theoretically do not put any barriers to development
Tourist branch. As Kazakh regional akim S.Nurgisaev,
And the head of the Russian administration of the city of Baikonur of D.
Dmitrienko repeatedly welcomed idea of cooperation in
To this sphere. This question and at level of departments was discussed,
Knowing tourism. However further reports on intentions business not
Has moved.
Most likely, the problem is covered in absence of strategy
Joint investments on creation on the basis of a space complex
Highly remunerative tourist object. The government of Russia
Has approved the draught agreement with government RK in the field of tourism,
But about sources of means for development of this branch yet
It is told words.
That Baikonur will call interest many tour agencies of the world,
To prove it is not necessary. Meanwhile in the big list of actions
Accepted recently space program of Kazakhstan to development
Place tourism was not. However, have not recollected tourism and in
To the Russian program. And especially strange this paradox looks
On that background, that for creation turkompleksa "Baikonur"
The state investments simply it is not required. Here not
It is necessary to build and arrange well any kilometre
Highways. Necessity to buy disappears
Expensive excursion buses of distant following. All
Launching pads, montazhno-test complexes,
The liquidated military rocket bases, say, everything, that can
To interest the tourist, including a city, it is fastened in one
Railway system.
That to the general it is good, will descend and having a rest.
Under our data, at the Russian firms working on
The cosmodrome, and Ministry of Railways have on preservation so-called staff
Cars.
The term "the staff car" means a steady sheaf from 4-5
Cars. Here there is a conference hall, a dining room-restaurant, a compartment for
Rest of high ranks and not so, per capita, toilets, a cinema hall, the block
spetssvjazi, a bath and many other things. If such staff complex
To restore, supply with a modern communication facility (a fax,
E-mail) to spend still some jobs, it
The VIP on wheels will turn to minihotel of a class.
At rounds lasting many days for visitors it is possible to reconstruct and
To modernise so-called general bases, about which on
Baikonur know all. Basically all service of the tourist is possible
To construct so, that within several days he will feel
Itself the Soviet general.
It is not necessary to forget and that near to Baikonur is
Unique, half salty, half fresh lake Kambash.
The experts time and again happening on this reservoir, consider it
Ideal vacation spot, in what not conceding world-wide
To the known Dead Sea. The lake could be entered organically in
Structure turkompleksa. German and Israeli firms are ready
To invest here to 10 million dollars. But besides at
Condition, that to the tourist will be permitted to visit on the space
Objects.
Open secret.
Stumbling-block on a way of investments to tourist industry of Baikonur
Is psevdozasekrechennost the cosmodrome. That the tourist from
The far abroad by existing rules has got on the cosmodrome,
It should give documents 30 days prior to entrance. Considering,
That now embassies not very much indulge attention of interested persons
To visit our country, registration terms become unreal.
Absurdity of the developed situation understand all. But to resolve it
It is possible only on the uppermost floors of the power.
Whether privacy for which so military men keep is justified?
Such example. On NASA sites on the Internet there are pages (for
Schoolboys) where it is told about history and a present status
Astronautics in the world. It is a lot of there the information devoted
To the cosmodrome Baikonur. On the pictures made of space,
Practically in any scale it is possible to consider a rocket on export,
On preparation for start, start-up. Besides it weight another
Information, including very detailed data about those ranks,
Which so persistently insist on privacy.
Clearly, that each country has the right to protect the military men
Secrets. But, as we know, at the Russian cosmodrome already is not present
Combat missiles. On many objects the civil work
Experts, it is far not all start-up are made by calculations VKS
Russia. We think, that the kazahstansko-Russian commission on Baikonur
Would find still kind ten arguments lifting
Barrier of the admission of tourist firms for job on a complex. But,
Alas... Neither in a press, nor in other documents across Baikonur we not
Have found even mentions of such attempts.
When the first block of the International space was started
Stations, on a starting complex many tourists were going to. Who
These inquisitive people who have shown so much skills and persistence,
To become witnesses of historical event? There is enough more
Or less regularly to look the Kazakhstan and Russian releases
News to distinguish among these inquisitive officials and
Members of parliament of Astana and Moscow. The state tourists with that and
Other party suffices on Baikonur and in other days. Participation
Russia in project MKS, start of American and other countries
Companions have widely opened doors to Baikonur for experts
Many states. The Lord military men, here also reveal in their environment
Spies. Instead of close here road to the burgher from Dц sseldorf,
To the gentleman from Newcastle, to the sir from Krakow, to the cowboy from Texas.
The governments of the Russian Federation and RK publish decisions about development of tourism,
Promise the state investments, tour agencies find the
Means also try to involve the foreign. Why it is impossible
To eliminate obstacles, with the stroke of the pen having signed documents,
The become obsolete instructions sending in archive?
Saken KURMANAEV,
Igor TITENOK.
Baikonur.
