I took the kids to Space Center Houston today... did you know that the Russians built their own shuttle back in the 80's? I didn't.Labels: NASA

I thought everyone knew that? Actually, I found out last fall when I was there. :)

it does, but its a lot different. no engines for one thing, so it could carry a lot more. according to the display, it was tested once (unmanned as the cockpit and life support systems were incomplete) but the test was successful, and then the project was abandoned.
