From my understanding, yes. I do not think the Baikonur Cosmodrome has any good water landing sights down range. Which does be the question of where do the regular discarded rocket parts fall.

Yes. The booster parachuted down but I am sure they had some damage on landing.

This was the argument I was thinking of for why the Main Engines were on the shuttle. All the engines on the STS were reusable. Only the OMS engines were reusable on the Soviet system (?).

Actually, there were plans for a re-usable Energia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energia Check out Energia II.

I don’t think so. Or like the SSMEs.

I guess this type of mass violence does happen in other countries.

Ban knives and cars......

With the list using none of the most highly starred comments.

Nah...nah

1. Your opinion, I’d take one over a 73-82 any day.

Easily.

But you see, if you drove a 64, you’re just screaming “old guy desperately clinging to the image of youth.” It’s like a mobile Cialis commercial whereas a C4 just says “awkwardly not old enough to be cool again sports car.”

Cramped? I'm 6'5" and I fit in there great.

Not sure if #5 is evidence for or against the ‘vette...

Miatas are girly. Camaro drivers look like mouth-breathing a-holes. Civic’s are for JDM wannabe’s...let’s just not drive anything.

As a former 944 owner I can’t hear you over my 5.7 liters of hoonage.

Eventually, you will be old enough that you realize what other people think of you doesn’t really matter if you like something. At that point, you will live a much happier life and feel more fulfilled. Best of luck to you.

and if you’re going to get a c5 might as well get a z #amirite

The problem is that a decent C4, that is, an LT1 6 speed car, is basically the same money as a C5, which is a superior car in every way.

don’t say we didn’t warn you! ;)
