After the launch of MS-29, uh, something went wrong with part of the pad having somehow fallen in the flame trench.

And well, it's the only pad that Russia has capable of flying Soyuz or Progress, which is a bit of a problem (especially for station).

🪦In Mount Kōya one can find Okunoin, the largest cemetery of Japan, where giant conifers stand next to thousands of tombs and a mausoleum. The place is also infamous for its revisionism in memorials to Japanese soldiers and officials during WW2
