Own Your Own Russian Space Shuttle

Posted by Hemos on from the new-meaning-to-"home-launch" dept.

MagicM writes "On e-bay, you can now bid on a Russian test shuttle: "This is a Bor-5 VKK (Spacecraft) and was used to test the aerodynamic characteristics of high altitude and extreme speed and heat on a space vehicle. It is an exact 1/8 scale model of the Russian "Buran" space shuttle." Bids starting at $550,000.00, no bids yet, closes at Aug-12-01 18:44:03 PDT. Better hurry!" I think the most humourous part of this is the seller added "I prefer PayPal!" Anyone out there with a 550,000 credit limit, buy away! *grin*

    Some guy's selling an entire stack of free expo passes for LinuxWorld here. I've currently got the top bid of a dollar, can't wait to go! =)
