    Буран

    I remember watching on television about 15 or more years ago, video of a Russian built space shuttle taking off and landing under remote control yet! It was named Буран. But I never heard another word about it. Was this a hoax? A few years ago I looked at pictures of it on the internet. Did the soviets really produce a space shuttle? Why did they not fly it into outer space?

    Thanks

    Actually, it was totally automated landing without any remote control. As I know NASA (and others) cannot do it yet.

    The program was shut down. It appeared to be too expensive.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    Now the Buran stands in Gorky park (Moscow) and turns to a heap of stuff.

    It's on display and open to the public for about 30 rubles to walk inside. The interior is gutted and turned into a small cinema with rows of seats.

    If only you could see . . . what I have seen, with your eyes.

    "На берегу так оживленно людно,
    А у воды высится, как мираж,
    Старый корабль - грозное чье-то судно,
    Тешит зевак и украшает пляж.

    Как ни воюй, годы, увы, сильнее,
    Как ни верти, время свое возьмет:
    Сгнили борта, и нет парусов на реях.
    И никогда полный не дать вперед.

    Зато любой сюда войдет за пятачок,
    Чтоб в пушку затолкать бычок
    И в трюме посетить кафе
    и винный зал,
    А также сняться на фоне морской волны
    С подругой, если нет жены,
    Одной рукой обняв ее
    Другой обняв штурвал.

    Был там и я и на толпу глазея,
    С болью в душе понял я вещь одну -
    Чтобы не стать этаким вот музеем -
    В нужный момент лучше пойти ко дну..."
