Not unless I get a ride... I would get another one, but my wife is already giving me grief over where I park the one we already have. Not only that, but she sees no humor at all in my little practical jokes involving the drogue parachutes. She finally drew the line the day she pulled into the driveway and I activated the chutes , completely blocking her view through the windshield. She ended up running into the garage door and denting up her new truck. Then there's the time I pretended to have a flat, and called AAA to change the tire. When the tow truck guy opened my trunk, he was fairly amused that my spare was the front tire off the shuttle. Thern there was the time that I was hanging my head out the driver's side window of the shuttle flailing my arms and shouting "WE'RE BREAKING UP! WE'RE BREAKING UP!" I wish I could have actually burst into flames without hurting myself. That would have added some visual impact.

Does it come with optional accessories such as, say, a launch pad?

I think it comes with a box of Depends, so that you don't crap yourself when you realize you've just voluntarily entered a soviet space vehicle, and the guy next to you starts throwing switches and saying, "Let's see how this baby handles!"

Created for development of automatic landing, Buran 002 is a full size analoque of orbital ship built of the same materials and under the same technology as space models. I want a real one!! One that has flown to space!! :( :) P.S. What is analoque? did he mean analogue?

Yeah. If you noticed, that one had 4 jet engines in the back. Still, it would sure raise eyebrows when you were coming in for a landing at the local airport! :-D

Yep, they did the shuttle the same way they got the bomb. Except in the shuttle's case they didn't have to steal the plans, they simply bought them outright. Having been married to a Russian and having spent a lot of time in Russia and on Russian aircraft, and knowing their general approaches to things and their quality control the way I do, I wouldn't want to be in the same state as a launch of the darned thing.
