So the program runned for 30 years, as they couldn´t come up with anything new, then space programs are cancelled because they can no longer be afforded?
Where is the outrage?
The United States needs another revolution, has for a long time, yet nothing happen. Looks like the sleeper needs a kick in the ass.

Did anyone notice the little fire on the top? Wtf

Interesting things gonna happen after the shuttles are gone. Hopefully ESA gets a capsule of their own. And I'd be very interested in seeing a new russian spacecraft design. Buran might not be resurrected, though :(
-
Well, I guess you are in too deep already.
Enjoy your "facts". Who knows, perhaps they might be true after all. :-)

@myquill23 Considering how it's designers admitted to making it "In the image of the US space shuttle", yeah, i believe it.
-
You believe that?
-
@myquill23 They copied the whole general idea. Russians are notorious for being able to look at something, get the idea, and build their own. It's not a 1 for 1 copy, but as far as them being space shuttles, it's a copy of ours. So much in fact that they dont look too unsimilar.
The only real differences are internal electronics, and that's it. That and the Buran once hat small jets fitted so they could flight test it before launching it lol. Read the history of it if ya dont believe me.
-
It's a copy.. because they look the same.. WOW.
-
@myquill23 What? SOMEONE STARTED THIS BEFORE ME? D:
And the Buran is a Bona-fide copy. They even look about the same lol.
-
It is a nice video.
It's a miracle that the comments section has yet to devolve into a US vs Russia trashtalking exercise..

Ever watch the video of how they put the Space Shuttle up on its Rocket boosters before launch? It’s insane how BIG the room is that moves the shuttle around… Here is the vid here- watch?v=KZrFC988Thc&feature=related
