Did The Soviets Build A Better Space Shuttle? The Buran Story

Imagine if the space shuttle was reusable

the end of the video randomly reminded me of For All Mankind lol

No. They didn't. They built a space weapons platform and disguised it with the stolen space shuttle diagrams and left it to rot because their entire system was a failure not just their fake space shuttle.

Bruto. Era tan costosa como un solo propulsor del Challenger

Even tho Antonov carried it

Гордость за нашу страну - СССР! Причем вдвойне, ибо теперь известно, что руководители позднего СССР решили, ЧТО ВО ИЗБЕЖАНИИ ЛИШНИХ ТРАТ (!!!???) не нужно стремится быть первым - достаточно повторять западные нововведения вторыми и позже, заранее ставя свою страну в вечно вторыми - в положение вечно догоняющих. Что ж тут удивительного, что и страну, паскуды профукали и социализм продали!!!! Но все равно восхищение распирает, когда видишь как быстро и заведомо лучше. повторили американский шатл. А вот если бы руководители СССР были бы поумнее и были настоящими коммунистами, а не красными снаружи и белыми внутри - то мы давно были бы первыми на самых главных направлениях развития - в космосе, в микроэлектронике. в медицине и образовании. И этому были всеп предпосылки, которые не только не использовали как надо, но преступно се разбазарили и проSSрали в итоге. А СССР был развален искусственно, самой верхушкой переродившейся КПСС ( Сталина на них не осталось, увы) при полном , тоже преступном благодушии советского народа ставшего таким наивным, что поверил врагам коммунизма.
ps. Вот так ! - развал СССР подвел всё человечество к стагнации и регрессу во всем !!!! И прежде всего в социальной сфере, закрыв цивилизации дорогу в будущее и наша задача - вернуть социализм с его социальными завоеваниями, превратить его в мировую систему и начать переустройство планеты на новые социальные рельсы. Ибо, это единственная дорога к развитию и счастью ВСЕХ!!!!

Russians truly democratic give away Kazakhstan with lots of space properties

The space shuttle killed fourteen astronauts!

Fun fact: in certain Slavic languages, Buran means "redneck, hillbilly".

The Proof in the pudding is that the USSR was doomed to fail because of Communism. It space program was doomed also because of lack of funding. The only reason the Russians have a working system is Because when Obama killed the shuttle program we financed the Russian space agency. The US Shuttle's we both launched by computer and could be landed by computer. It had 5 computer systems onboard to operate and land remotely if wanted, but our astronauts had the choice to fly computer or manual control. Also the US Shuttles were designed for 100 flights each. Again, Obama cut the funding and turned NASA into a PR Group to improve relationships with Muslims. Also Obama cut the funding for the Artemis Program. Trump got the Artemis Program back on schedule. The Biden cut/slashed some of the Artemis Budget. We were already supposed to be back on the moon already.

I've recently visited Technical Museum Speyer in Germany and saw it!
And remembered i watched this video about it
And came back again!!

I respect every space agency

soviets ≠ rozians

AWESOME 👌

What was the song I'm the beginning?

Lying in an abandoned hanger 😢

Espionage....there was a spy inside NASA. The Russians were stealing the plans for the it space shuttle from the US. The US knew it and provided bogus plans, bogus wiring, bogus engine spec and bogus everything. The Russian space shuttle never was launched.

Russia is incapable of developing any by hing without using stolen technology from other nations!

No they didnt because it never went to space

To the dumb question in the title, simply No.

No

No! The Soviets never designed a space shuttle. They stole the plans for the US shuttle. but did not obtain the specs for the life support and telemetry systems. When they attempted to show it to their own Cosmonauts, they declared it a "Deathtrap" and refused to fly it at any price. It's only mission was photo-op, and even that didn't get very far.

Oh yea totally better, went to space soooo many times. In fact you could argue it has a 100% success rate.

USSR and USSA builds HORSE SH@IT for the sheep nothing more than a money scam thats why when the scam was over they left the junk to rust away /

How sad we stop developing capsules flying on rockets when the space shuttle caused more deaths than any capsules we or the russians ever produced.

Seriously the space shuttle waswaaaay over doing it. It was expensive, costly with lives lost, costly with tax dollars and we still used "disposable rockets" for the space shuttle: how else would it get to space? It didn't fly up on its own. It cruised down from space.

It required being perched on/strapped to a G i G a N t i C fuel tank that held two powerful boosters , all of which were disposed of as soon as orbit was being achiwved.

We never stopped using disposable rockets hun.

It wouldn't be til Elon Tusk that we would start taking reusable rockets seriously and even then, if he keeps stealing the spotlight from the air force with his rocket program he's not gonna be long for this world.
The US military likes it's contracts and likes being give arbitrary access to space and space faring equipment.

Anyways, the shuttle was too expensive and ultimately the 80s were a time of complete excess and expendable /disposable income . We were able to afford all the thigh masters, metallic colored soandex thong workout leotards and pastel colored leg warmers and cocaine we could ever want.

So I can see the why for the space shuttle but I'm disapoint as they coulda used all that bread for somehing else we can go to space with. Better more powerful and safer rockets.

What is the name of the music at 0.45 sec

Question? Who was FIRST?

What is the song?

Something that functions and delivers a positive result is always better than something that might appear better, but doesn't produce any positive result.

It's an interesting piece of history, especially with all of the espionage going on during the cold war. Obviously the Buran was the blatant result of spying on the US. And the changes they made would have been interesting if they were ever able to get the program functional. Unfortunately it was just an exercise in successful spy craft and wasting untold amounts of money.

С чего вы считаете что он был надёжнее? С одного полёта? Советское - значит НЕ надёжное. То что ВСЕ маршевые двигатели у него одноразовые - дороже. У спейс-шатла они многоразовые!

Let's be real. The Russians "always" make something that was "the best" and "amazing" and "the biggest" ... oddly enoough, they make one, two, three ... (12) prototypes, that everyone claims how awesome they are. Every Russian invention was awesome on paper, where it stayed because of f-ed up system they had/have and thus they could not put it into full fruition. But the things they did make in large quantities mostly proved to be rudimentary, full of mistakes, lacking or straight unable to compete.
USA makes awesome stuff in large quantities that make them operationally (in a well-thought-out system) even more awesome.
Russia (USSR) makes "awesome" stuff on paper, usually in one sample, largely untested so no one can (with a fact) attest to how half-assed it was, but still everyone in a romantic tone and with tragic sympathy claims how awesome it would be if it would see production ... and there it is, where we are - at unproven products and claims.

No they didn't

i really want to watch more of the mustard videos but i cant since you got to pay to watch them.

No

What is the intro music?????????????

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🙂😅😅🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😎

жидкокислые двиганы на старте, и второй бак не плохой, +мухха цокоцокотуХХа, плитками поклеенное БРЮХо, туда терминатора посадить - прилунился бы помарсился и на плутон:,)

I don't understand why all European and the European in USA hate everything that Russia do?? Not even 30 countries in NATO can compare to Russia

🇺🇲 shuttle is More like partially reusable, Энергия in and of itself is mighty asset.

Americans always went for killing.

summary: yes, they did

they copied the bluprints. america did it safer and cared more about its astronauts

I would love to hear interviews with the people that worked on these projects.

Why is it impossible to create an oxygen - powder mixture for solid-fuel engines or use granules , as in rods at nuclear power plants?

has it own jet, better booster, better control system, kinda outplay america
