The biggest of 'em all. But no one needed such a workhorse that could bring 100 tons into low orbit and 20 tons into geostationary orbit.

But payload to geostationary transfer orbit is only 3,810 kg.

When did Russia actually use their re-usable? I thought they built it and everybody was like "neat" and then they canned it because... it's Russia.

The Buran made one testflight without crew, landed automatically and was then mothballed. It is now in a German museum (Technik Museum Speyer) for public display.

Yeah, and the name on ours is Challenger, Discovery, Columbia, etc. That's not the name of the model, though.

Or because it is much cheaper to use a Proton than Launching a Delta

And the US is also trying to keep Russian aerospace engineers working in Russia instead of heading off to wherever they could cause problems.

446483 Or because NASA spent tons of money on expensive casket for astronauts. Otherwise they couldn't tell that they don't afraid to fly on Proton like they to afraid fly on Shuttles.

Its the price you pay for progress which is something the Russian space agency hasn't done since the mid 70s.

Proton isn't even a man rated rocket so basically no one is afraid to ride it because no one does.

Progress 4 progress is truly american-spending a lot of resources for a bullshit is so easy when you buy them for chopped green paper called dollars and for obligations that you are not going to perform.

So how is the Ruble doing nowadays?

US dollars are legal tender which means it is Illegal not to accept them which makes them a lot more valuable then paper.

Rouble is provided by oil, gas and other natural resources. Dollar is provided by threat of U.S. agression against countries which would like use their dollar reserves at a single time. If all mass of dollars sold to different countries will be returned to U.S. which used their printing press as a means of all the problems, U.S. will be bankrupt because they will not be able to provide real benefits.
Recognition of the dollar as the currency adopted worldwide, made the USA legitimated counterfeiter
