The bigger question not being asked in this thread is why their shuttle looks so much like ours? Could it be they had the better spy network?


No question. Go look up the Soviet version of the Concorde, the TU-144. An almost exact replica, and cool stories of how they got the plans from the French.

The Tu144 actually flew 2 months before the Concorde ever did.

And then was plagued with mechanical difficulties.
