78-year-old Grandma Chagan spent her days dreaming of the homeland she was forced to abandon over 53 years ago due to the construction of the country's spaceflight base. Chagan said she remembers the day the helicopters landed near her yurt and her family were forced to pack everything they owned and leave the only land they knew to be home. Chagan lived in the Baori Ulan village, which housed over 200 families as well as 70,000 sheep as well as 1,400 herdsmen of the Tuerhute Tribe of Mongolia. With no where to go, they wandered the desert for eight years.
