You didn't know that? It's different from the american one since it doesn't have engines on it and it's launched by strapping it to this really huge rocket.Darth_Zod wrote:wait a second here. . .the russians have a space shuttle?

Shit. We should pool funds and buy it then use it to win the x prize.

Launch it into space and crash it into where you live, which is covered in the "shipping and handling" cost?muse wrote:How the heck are they going to ship that thing?

The Russian shuttle is a funny thing; only a single useabul example was ever built, which made only a single unmanned two-orbit flight. But several of the test versions (which where incapable of making a space flight) have had interesting lives. One is now a restaurant in Moscow, a LA radio station tried to auction off another (IIRC the Russian goverment pulled the plug on that) and another was flown to Australia for display during the Olympic games for some unknown reason.
