Soviet Shuttle Buran Found In a Junk Heap

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wipe-away-a-single-tear dept.

gruenz noted the somewhat sad photo slideshow showing what appears to be the Soviet Space Shuttle Buran, lying in a Moscow suburb junk heap. Of course I don't read Russian, so it might also be a carnival ride rusting.

    Hmmm... let's see:

    "We hold these things to be kinda obvious: that some men are created similar, that they are endowed by their Government with certain alienable Priveleges..."

    Wow! You're right! Using the proper words doesn't matter at all! How could we have been so misguided all these years?
