Upon the development of the American Space Shuttle program, The Soviet Union also embarked on their own version. This little known space program, which cost billion of dollars, was known as Buran and much like their American counterparts, their shuttle design was strikingly similar.

Decades later however, remnants of the program still exist, some sitting completely abandoned. Join me today to find out why!
