So, here we are. It’s now 45 years since astronauts last left low earth orbit, also known as LEO, aboard Apollo 17. Ever since then, US and Russian astronauts have continued flying to space and lately they’ve been rubbing shoulders with Canadians, Europeans and Japanese astronauts – and lately everyone’s been launching from Kazakhstan because that the only place we can currently launch people from.
