An interesting fact about Kazakhstan is that it is home to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the world's first and largest operational space launch facility. Located in the Kazakh steppe, this site was constructed during the Soviet era in 1955 and remains a pivotal hub for space exploration. The cosmodrome is where Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, launched aboard Vostok 1 in 1961. Today, it continues to be used for missions, including launches to the International Space Station.
