Far worse than the condition of the Buran facility is the condition of the
human race as evidenced by the comments below the photographs. Were I a
nonhuman intelligence who'd discovered this webpage, I'd immediately and
without a moment's compunction push the fire button on the DS-1's superlaser to
prevent our contagion from escaping into the larger Universe.
It wouldn't be cheap to restore this facility and the shuttles to
tourist-attraction status, but what an attraction it'd be!

bit since I worked at SLC-6 atVandenberg in the mid 80s. It wasmothballed for a
while before Delta IVcame along. It's a shame to see thoseshuttles just sitting
theredeteriorating.
