Ignore MultipleEFP, he is nothing but a stupid ignorant troll who knows nothing about Buran, spaceflight, or aerodynamics.

In fact, I don't think he's a Russian at all... I think he's a troll who is deliberately trying to make Russians look stupid.

Oh dear. Please thing before you type. Answer me: What temperature does the surface of the CERAMIC tiles on the under surface of any re-entering space capsule reach? Answer: Around 2000-3000K. Question 2: What is the melting point of titanium alloy fan blades in a jet engine....less than the temperature of combustion which is around 1000K. So basically, the fan blades would completely melt upon re-entry. I've done quite a bit of reading up on this Buran. The jet engines were on the prototypes...

they should rebuild buran, we need a STS kind of craft since the shuttle has retired!

@LordFuhquaad i think your high alcoholism rates already take care of that

What music video,please. CCCP forever

MrSrgj, actually NASA made huge amounts of development information and testing results available to the public domain. NASA acknowledge that this sped up the Russian development, and the Russians correctly decided to re-use proven, and researched technology and then made it better. Capable of lifting more payload weight and being fully autonomous it was more advanced than the Shuttle - and had more safety systems in place. Suggest you read up more on Buran and appreciate the genius of the Russi

[MrSrgj]

Russian spies have stolen blueprints of the American space shuttle, and made a copy.

In my opinion this is nonsense.

You can not copy if you do not know how it works.

They are similar in appearance, but inside they are very different.

@TheSpiritof1969 actually the orion capsules the USA plans to use have resuable heat shields. so far none of the usa capules plan to land on land like soyuz

[TheSpiritof1969]

@oreoweb6

I wonder just how reusable those capsules will be. The heat shields will have to be replaced each flight but I suspect they will have to be disassembled after each flight as well. I heard they will comedown on land to save expensive mid ocean recovery .... that leaves them prone to being damaged by hard landings.

Anything under a parachute cannot be guaranteed a perfect soft landing.

Big difference between the US and USSR version is how far back the nose wheel is on the Buran. The US version has the nose wheel, well, under the nose, the Buran has it practically at the front of the cargobay.

[Lttradiumlevans77]

In the end, there is some ESA Hermès European space shuttle concept pictures, not Buran.

@SPYK3O the next generation spacecraft will have reusable capsules unlike apollo which was 1 time use.
