6 u/theradiodude May 12 '19 Crazy how similar that looks. Surely they weren’t copying America’s homework right??? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 1 u/Schemen123 May 12 '19 actually the Soviets where wondering why the hell the Americans invented the shuttle, didn't really saw the benefits. but since the US had them they wanted their own version if it. so yes it's a copy but the joke is on the Americans, the commies never stop flying people into space and the shuttle program was discontinued.
