Plutoplatter. I shall make this as simple as I can. I said that Buran/Energia was the best system to fail to enter service, NOT the best system overall - that prize currently belongs to US-built Saturn V.
The best two currently in service are the Russian Soyuz launch vehicle and US STS. Primarily since these are the best systems that can be afforded by the respective nations at this point.
I recommend encyclopedia astronautica for objective and accurate info on space programmes.

Temper, temper, Bahama! You Buran buffs have such thin skins. The point here is that you're wrong. Mission scenarios aside, Buran is not ready to fly humans or cargo into space, and never was. Here's one major reason why: Buran never had a life support system either installed or even designed, even to this day. Since cosmonauts can't hold their breath any lomnger than you or me, Buran flights would have been limited to, oh, sayyyy, two minutes at most. Buran: a copycat stunt, and nothing more.

Bahama, are you on drugs? Buran/Energia was a collossal bust, so hyperexpensively and technologically bad that the USSR abandoned them. To add insult to injury, the Russian space agency announced this past September that it too was not interested in reviving Buran/Energia, and instead advocated for our great country America to keep flying our hugely successful Space Shuttle. How embarassing for Buran/Energia and all you pro-Soviet trolls who come in here shouting the praises of Buran/Energia!

If you had bothered to read my piece at all, you would've realised that I did NOT advocate a revival of the programme at all! Only that a mission scenario needs to exist for it to fill BEFORE they can revive it. And that they heve the means to do so IF THEY WISH TO!
And you're dissin' me as a drugged-up, Soviet troll is highly insultive and I can have you reported for your extremely childish behaviour if you keep it up!

Plutoplatter, face reality for once. The Buran/Energia system was the greatest superbooster setup to never achieve operational status. Primarily due to financial constraints. The collapsed Russian Economy simply could not afford any superbooster at the time.
Today, however, they have the means to revive Energia. IF they can find a mission scenario for it. i.e. Manned Lunar Base.

1968 April 4 - Soviet view on Saturn V The second successful launch of the Saturn V stunned the Soviet engineers. They could not believe the variety and volume of data telemetered back in real-time to the launch centre. They viewed with jealousy the launch room set-up at Cape Canaveral - where each engineering speciality could sit in their own comfortable chair, viewing data as the booster ascended on a computer screen.

Sergei, your attempt to label the Soviets' meager moon program achievements as superior to the grand success of our American efforts is, well, lunacy. Anyone is a crackpot like you who argues that the half a kilogram of soil from one single solitary spot on the Moon and returned to Earth by that one single unmanned Soviet lander was better than the over 400 kilograms obtained from six different locations on the moon by our Apollo missions. We even landed a geologist to help find the best rocks.
