Russian blogger Saoirse took photos of space capsules and other mechanical equipment found abandoned inside an old hangar. Some of them manned and some unmanned, space capsules are mostly used as landers for astronauts and cosmonauts. As their exterior faces extreme temperatures and pressure during atmospheric reentry, most of them are non-reusable.
