Orbiter Simulator - Remembering Buran (HD)

[jvarela965]

Buran's problem was not cost effective. The ENERGIA rocket was expensive to produce and launch and it alone could launch all the cargo into Space Buran could carry making the Shuttle redundant. It was a nice solution in search of a problem.

@DaBeste1 in case you didn't know, right after the STS retires it will immediately be replace by better rocket we already have developed.

The energia rocket is an original russian design, the shuttle may have been copied, but the rocket is very original. it can launch many types of payloads up to 100 tons into low earth orbit.

therwe are many diffrences on each spacecraft they are tottaly diffrent machines

[franchboy]

all the russians are good at is copying shit likee they just too damn crazy but the russian people are nice and i like speaking a bit russian dasvidania bitches

Modern Shuttles coppied some stuff from the Buran I think. LOL! Not sure.

[btardwannabe]

@1942tj Well, I doubt it.. Endeavour, America's last shuttle was well along in its construction when Buran lifted off on it's only mission. Endeavour differed only slightly from the previous shuttles, and not in any Buran derived way. Aside from their external appearances, the American and Soviet shuttles are two very different pieces of machinery.

I also don't think you were using the term "LOL!" right in this context.

[hormanchung]

@1942tj no, it was the Soviet Unions that copied american shuttles, but the Energia rocket wasn't copied.

[franchboy]

americans shuttles are better

[DaBeste1]

stupid post..

Energija can fly without Buran..

The Shuttle stack can't fly without the orbiter.. or they need to do a lot of development..

Next thing is, Energija has liquid boosters, not solid ones..(Today the first stage of the Zenit-rockets)

Nice video, i like it :D

[franchboy]

at least we was there first lol dont be mad plus ours are better

[DaBeste1]

yes.. that's why the shuttle will go off duty in early 2011, and roskosmos will still have the soyuz ;)

Don't be so arrogant, american..
