The authorities of the Irkutsk region have denied the April Fools' message about the Baikal cosmodrome
In the next five years, no spaceport will be built on the territory of the Angara region. The news of this turned out to be, as expected, an April Fool's joke. “They can’t build an airport here, but you say ‘cosmodrome’,” the press service of the Irkutsk government said. In the next five years, no one will build a modern cosmodrome on the territory of the Ust-Orda Buryat district of the Irkutsk region.
