To: Space-Enthusiasts at MIT-MC Earlier tonight I heard the tail end of an ABC News report on what looks like a Soviet effort at a space shuttle. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to actually hear the story very well due to a lot of interruptions. Does anybody know what's going on here? Does Russia actually have a bird that is anything like a Shuttle? If so, they've managed to keep the thing under wraps pretty well until recently... and have also managed to score a propaganda victory by decrying our use of the Shuttle for military missions while simultaneously building their own. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
