In Baikonur, Kazakhstan, the backup Expedition 32/33 crewmembers strike a pose July 7, 2012 in front of a statue of Yuri Gagarin, the first human to fly in space, as they toured the town near the Cosmodrome from which the prime crewmembers --- NASA’s Sunita Williams, Yuri Malenchenko and Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency --- will launch July 15 to the International Space Station in their Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft. From left to right, the backup crewmembers pictured are Flight Engineer Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency, Soyuz Commander Roman Romanenko and NASA Flight Engineer Tom Marshburn.
