- Ω - Posted September 27, 2023 Report Share Posted September 27, 2023 It was my understanding that the Buran never flew with a Cosmonaut, only an unmanned test because (1) they never trusted it and then abandoned due (2) to lack of funds, mainly due to Ronald Reagan trapping them into spending tons of money on their military and to counter the fictional "Star Wars" program, which led to internal issues like a stagnating economy leading to civil unrest coupled with Gorbachev loosening the grip with restructuring and openness leading to them losing control about a year later when Boris Yeltsin terminated it after the fall of the Soviet Union. So if I were to assign blame, it was Ronald Reagan that did the program in. TrekMD and sramirez2008 2 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
