The track walls darken smoothly from azure at the floor to deep blue at the ceiling, showing the journey out of Earth's atmosphere. They carry blue ceramic medallions of Ulugbek, Icarus, Gagarin, Tereshkova, Volkov and Janibekov. The round columns are clad in glass, and glowing glass stars on the ceiling form the Milky Way.
