250 Million dollars
buys a heck of a lot more in Russia than in the US. In addition, the
Russians are making much money in commercial space activities
Subject: Buran back in business?

| According to a Dutch mailinglist the Buran-programme (the Russian Shuttle)
is to be started up again.
|
| The Russians are supposed to use the Buran not only for trips to ISS but
even to Mars!
|
| Maybe this will speed up NASA's Mars-plans?

Interesting because i heard the exact same thing from Russian cosmonaut a
few months back, he was attending an astronomy meeting and i was talking
to
him
Ah folks, I'm seeing the future here! Yep, those of us getting older and tired of NASA's snail pace in manned space exploration can now take heart. Good old competition with the Russians is on again. This time, though, it's commercial interests and rich(er) folks wanting to get directly
Lets hope their endeavors are successful. On the dark side - imagine a
whole load of multimillionaires -?
