Mir Space Station Launch 1986

[TheTurbinator]

Mir was one tough lady, If they didn't deorbit here she would have kept on rolling for another decade or two.

It should have been boosted to a really hight orbit as a monument to it's achievements, instead of deorbiting.

@TheTurbinator well, the yanks were jealous of it as it had the CCCP logo outside it and frelt like taking it to the shitter, which by next week the USA would like default their debt and collapse.

interesting burst and exhausts of that rocket...weird though... :)

As far as I remember, the rocket is called "Proton". It's more or less a heavy lifter.
