The Russian Buran Space Shuttle

[thomas7g]

Not many people know that the russians tried to make their own version of the space shuttle. But it wasn't till today that I actually found some pictures of it.

Take a look. It looks amazingly familiar though distinctly different!

i remember doing a research paper on the russians shuttle back when i was school, it really

was an amazing craft and had some advanatages over the u.s. shuttle, problem was it was

to expensive for the soviet government to use.

I remember reading about the russian shuttle as well. I was surprised that
it cost so much more then anyone had anticipiated.
