If that's not reason enough to visit this museum: They've also got a Buran.

- joezydeco 9y agoI've visited this exhibit and it's amazing. What blew my mind was how much space there was above the passenger cabin. http://www.ul-hs.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/47.jpg http://www.ul-hs.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/47.jpg
- ethbro 9y agoI was curious how the hell they ended up with a Buran, given that there were two, the one that flew was destroyed in a hangar collapse, and the other was never completed. Turns out they have the atmospheric aerodynamic test vehicle (OK-GLI / Buran Analog BST-02). As for how, it has quite the interesting history. Bought by an Australian in 2000, displayed for the Olympics, owner went bankrupt. No buyers appeared. It next shows up being exhibited in Bahrain, before the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum buys it (finally moved in 2008). The remaining Buran vehicle is still in Russian custody. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK-GLI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK-GLI
