Buran Space Shuttle
"Buran" is probably the most genuinely Russian attraction at the Gorky Park. It is a full-size imitation of the famous Soviet space shuttle Buran. Inside, you can imagine being an astronaut as the illusion of weightlessness is created. The Buran shuttle, has flown only once - on November 15, 1988, and it was the Soviet response to the US Space Shuttle . This was an unmanned flight; it returned to Earth on autopilot.

I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful trip to Moscow. What an incredible experience. I could not imagine Moscow without you! It was so much more fulfilling. Russian has always fascinated. We hear about your country so much in the news that it was important for me to experience it first hand.
I think in many ways North America and Russia are alike. We have very different histories, but in many ways we live the same in these times of rapid communication, TV and the internet. It is striking that without those tools cultures evolved so differently but with them we have many similarities!
Stay in touch. If you ever come to Canada you have to visit the capital city of Ottawa and I will happily be your guide!
Thank you again,
K
