had the funding for this thing; it's made out of no less than _twelve_
Salyut modules attached to a new core module that looks like it takes
two Proton launches alone to assemble.)

And they have module reuse - that's Salyut 7 being plugged in as the
last module. I used to have that book, and never notice the lack of
accessible docking ports before :-)

Notice the deathray is pointing _away_ from Earth? The Russkies must
have been defending us from the aliens..... aha! Gerry Anderson's 'UFO'
must have been seen as 'Historical Documents' :-)
