	The Reds haven't flight tested their bird to orbit; they've shot
it up and gotten it down on a suborbital flight.  We *don't know* even how
it got up and how it got down:  it may have used chutes rather than its wings,
like Mercury.
	I need something better than this sort of story before I'll swallow a
Russian shuttle.
