Dead Space

A photo article about the final(?) resting place of the Soviet space shuttles over at Messy Nessy.

On one hand it is kind of depressing to see real live spaceplanes sitting around covered in pigeon crap.  On the other hand, these puppies aren't dropping off Soviet reconnaissance satellites in orbit to get a better view of how to blow the living shit out of the Free World.  So I guess that's a net win.  Too bad we didn't tow them away for display as war trophies on some courthouse lawns circa 1992 though.
