You can send in any question you would like to ask the office's guest. Answers to the questions will be published in the nearest magazine's issue and at the magazine's news feed web page:

I couldn't post in your forum, and couldn't register because I don't understand Russian. Here's my question, e-mailed to your address

Dear Yuri Vladimirovich

I really have three questions for you (at least)

1) Are you named after Yuri Gagarin?

2) Will you be be sad to leave Baikonur? What does Baikonur mean for you?

3) Are you worried by the fact that after 2010 the Soyuz will be the only manned space vehicle in operation? Do you believe that NASA will have the VSE-Orion flying by 2014? Will the ESA ever have a manned vehicle?

Thanks for your attention

Belisarius
