The Buran which was superior to the US space shuttles in all possible ways, was shut down after the Soviet Union collapsed but now as USA shut down its space shuttles a few years ago during Obama presidency, Russia wants to fill in the void by relaunching its Buran program.

Looks like America is collapsing with black riots and looting everywhere in the streets while Russia is becoming the next America, glorious high tech, will of advancement, progress and exploration, the true embodiment of the white European spirit. Very nice.

RT reported:

Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, is looking to develop new options for human spaceflight, according to its head Dmitry Rogozin. It wants to replace the current Soyuz MS with a winged space shuttle, similar to the 1980s Buran.

The Buran (‘blizzard’ in Russian) was similar in design to the US space shuttle. It made one orbital flight in 1988, but the program stalled when the Soviet Union collapsed, and funding dried up. The world’s largest plane, the giant Antonov An-225 Mriya, was initially designed to transport it.

Roscosmos is already working on a state of the art spacecraft, named Oryol, for flights to the moon – but the high cost means a cheaper option needs to be developed for servicing orbital stations.

“We need to make a reusable ship of a completely different configuration – something like the Buran with the ability to land on runways,” Rogozin explained. However, he admitted that the creation of a modern, winged, reusable ship to replace the current Soyuz would be a long time away, noting that continuous modernization is “destructive for the development of space technology.”

The Buran was the first operational shuttle orbiter to be made as part of the Soviet space program. The plane that made the 1988 flight was destroyed in 2002 when its hangar collapsed on it. Two examples, left abandoned for three decades, are stored at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Don’t believe Russian tech is superior to US tech? Well check this video out, it was even nicknamed US shuttle 2.0…

  1. Jun 19, 2020 – FRN brings the following major revelation::

    Members of the Brazilian parliament decided to confirm suspicions and break into a hospital that claimed to have 5,000 infected & 200 deaths from COVID-19, and found that the hospital had grossly over-represented the cases and its claims. There was in fact not a single person, they report, and the hospital was entirely empty and was obviously still under construction.
