Default The Russian Buran Space Shuttle

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.
