Return to the ABANDONED Soviet Buran SPACE SHUTTLES

I returned to explore the abandoned Soviet-era Buran space shuttles in the middle of the Kazakhstan desert. The adventure of a lifetime – a second time. It’s an 80km (50 mile) hike across unforgiving terrain, mostly undercover of the night. The adventure requires crossing into Russian territory and evading armed Russian military patrols. And, this time, we were exposed to sub-zero temperatures. This video includes the first-ever 4K complete tour around the space shuttles. See the Ptichka orbiter – 95% complete for space flight – up close like never before. It’s an incredible work of engineering to behold.
