Great photos! I see there seems to be a stairway to go into the Buran rocket. Can you go inside and have a look?

- xioxox 5y agoYes, but I think it's a mock-up and not a real Buran. It was mostly empty inside (and dark!). They showed us the hanger which partially collapsed and damaged the Buran inside, as we were being driven along.
- namibj 5y agoWhile not quite the real deal, the aerodynamic test vehicle OK-GLI is at the Technik Museum Speyer in the same-named German City, open to the public (the nearby (30min; car) museum in Sinzheim has a both the french and soviet supersonic passenger planes (Concorde/Tu-144) in it's exhibit). I can recommend both museums (interests have to match, of course). [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK-GLI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK-GLI
- NamTaf 5y agoSeconding this recommendation. Spend a day each at both Sinsheim and Speyer; I spent about 4 hours at each and I was practically jogging around the place to see things.
