It turns out that even in death the shuttles are not equal. Last week, the US space shuttle "Enterprise" was brought to New York for the installation as a museum exhibit. Low flight "747" attached to his back shuttle was the event of the day. Ten years earlier the Soviet its analogue "Buran" ended his life sad ruined hangar. In the early hours of April 27 people candy crush began to gather on the pier in the southern part of Manhattan, where it was expected to appear shuttle. candy crush After twice postponing NASA had pledged to hold a memorable air show. And really - in dramatically lit by the sun clouds showed white point. Rather clear silhouette of a huge white plane, as the top rider - shuttle. People on the pier was buzzing hive hummed as worried. Kilometer height and a little more distance tandem two coupled wonders - one aviation way of aerospace, smooth look of a circle around the Statue candy crush of Liberty and headed to the mouth of the Hudson River. The crowd roared and clapped enthusiastically. candy crush Of the schedule, we knew that the shuttle will fly over the western part of Manhattan, then turn over the bridge "George Washington" and I will be back to where we observed. After a few minutes flying couple appeared again from the mouth of the river, causing a new wave of furious nadshtrakvane cameras. I realize that the view is historical, as they would no longer be repeated. As I watched the receding of the huge plane and its precious cargo, I thought of another one view with a 10-year period - collapsed hangar in Kazakhstan, where it was destroyed and buried the last symbol of the Soviet space industry, carrier rocket "Energy", together with shuttle "Buran". Foreign similarities between American and Soviet space shuttle "Buran" are obvious. But the theory of industrial espionage in itself is not interesting, because efficient aerodynamic solutions logically lead to a similar design. Americans first, the development candy crush program of the shuttle was approved in 1969 - the same in which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon. This period is the peak of the Cold War. Is it any wonder then, that when the KGB presented to the Minister of Defence Marshal Ustinov prototype developed by the American shuttle, for there is no doubt that this is a project for the transfer of nuclear bombs and strike at the heart of the USSR. Ustinov candy crush persuaded the Politburo that the shuttle candy crush is the military, and in 1976 the Russians launched the development of its own apparatus. In his speech at "Smithsonian" on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the flight of "Apollo 11" Armstrong admitted that if it was the cold war and the mad rush for new weapons and technology, mastery of space would be far more back . "Buran" fly only once, in November 1988. fully automatic mode makes two orbits and lands. He was scheduled second flight, but irreversible changes of perestroika not allow it to happen. In a telephone conversation Igor Volk, the pilot cosmonaut set first to fly with "Buran", says the concept of full automation of the "Buran" was absurd - the result of interdepartmental intrigue of two Soviet ministries. Volk spared no words to Mikhail Gorbachev, which he destroyed the Soviet Union by order of Ronald Reagan. During the only meeting between Gorbachev and Volk of cosmonaut becomes clear that the second flight of "Buran" will be. Funding for the project was frozen candy crush in 1989 and officially ended in 1993. While American shuttles with precision deliver cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station candy crush (ISS), "Buran" and "Energy". 1 2 Next Page " rusty hangar in Kazakhstan "

"As soon as Congress approved the use of" Soyuz "for transport to the ISS, the Russians raised the tariff from 20 to 60 million dollars per astronaut." Ha, Raska learn market economy !!!
"Observing candy crush the precision and attention with which technicians and engineers working on scaffolding around the shuttle, it was clear that the Russians candy crush did not have a chance. An automated flight - yes, long-term program - no."
