In other news Russian media has reported that recent genetic work leaves open the possibility of breeding flying pigs in the near future also. :-D Once again the Pat Answer that sums up everything quite nicely. --Damon |

Russia To Review Its Space Shuttle Project
This is a very disjointed report. Something seems to have been lost in the
translation (Russian-Chinese-English). Nevertheless, a huge assumption has been made if anyone thinks this refers to Buran. More likely it refers to the RKK Energiya-led intention to reinstate the Kliper project. Of course, contractor-based intentions and the intentions of those who hold the purse strings in Moscow are not necessarily the same thing! Eddie Lyons Portsmouth, UK wrote in message ...

Given that the country is making so much money from exports of natural gas to Europe that it has been able to re-arm itself to Cold War levels - so that it could have fun invading Georgia with impunity - it does not at all seem to me implausible, especially now that they have access to modern technology like microprocessors (instead of having to make do with computers no more powerful than a 360/75, built from discrete transistors) that they could manage to build a rocket capable of sending a man to the moon, and returning him safely to the Earth. Even if the spending would have to be spread out over more than one decade. John Savard |
