BoingBoing reader TabulaRasa in Germany says,
In the late 1980s, the Russians tried to
develop their own Space Shuttle. Well, actually -- one
even ended up flying into space just one time -- "Buran". After this
flight, the hangar where it was housed in
Baikonur collapsed and destroyed the craft.
This is an online photo gallery of "Buran 002", another prototype that
was sold to an Australian businessman named David Hammer. During the
Olympic Games in Sydney, the prototype was
part of an exhibition. Then it was sold to a company in Singapore, and
was shipped to Bahrain,
where it became stranded somewhere in the desert.
Eventually it was sold to a German museum, and
will soon be shipped one last time -- to become part of an
exhibition.
Some things are still working, as you can see from the photos in this
online image gallery.
Guess I'll have make a visit to this museum when the shuttle has
arrived!

Why spend $250 on a
Nelson ball clock when you can make
one for a few bucks out of some suckers, a cheap clockworks, and a
cylindrical oatmeal box?
