Soviet Space Shuttle
December 27th, 2006
Did you know that the Soviets made a space shuttle? It was called Buran and only made one unmanned flight back in 1988. The project was eventually abandoned in 1993 due to lack of funding.
Today’s link is to Krzys Kotwicki’s site all about the Buran project. On his site, you can find out about the history of the Buran project, see tons of photos and even some videos.
