Rocket Key
What you see here is obviously key. What differs this particular one from some other key is that with a turn of this key the most powerful machine built by human genius in our modern times was awaken to life. This is the key from Russian space rockets, thousand tons monsters carrying tons of cargo weight to the Russian space station “MIR” which is sunk in pacific now.
Such keys were a real artefact amongst engineers participating in the launches and there was a long line of those who wanted to
get the next one as a present.
Those things are the actual dashboards in which the key had to be inserted and turned on in order to initiate the start sequence. After it was initiated nothing could stop it. You can see how the metal around keyhole has moltened and blackened - they had to have very high voltages there - but what else would you expect during those glorious times they didn’t save on energy.
Also this key was a symbol of Russian town Leninsk, or Baikonur as it was called later - the place in what we now know as Kazakhstan from where most of the Soviet rockets were launched. The people of the city put the drawing of this key to the Leninsk coats of arms.

Oh my friend, you really made me laugh.
However, I think it more likely for an American astronaut to do such a thing, much like the female astro-nut who drove in her diapers across the USA to shoot her lover’s wife. I think that must have been a career-breaker, even in the US government, yes?

That key is almost as big as a door key to a russian apartment!
There were 2 keys for the door to my flat.
A big key that was bigger than this one for the dead bolt,and a small key for the door handle.
In america I only have 1 small key for both locks and no bars on the windows!

“You can see how the metal around keyhole has moltened and blackened - they had to have very high voltages there”
That’s incorrect. Soft black ribbon diffused into oil-based painting for decades, nothing but.
Very cool.
Keys to the future we lost.
Now it seems the entire Earth will suffocate while we murder eachother for the last few drops of poison in the ground instead of reaching for the stars.
