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.
