I don't know why Cable Network News comes up with these items
during hours when I am semiconcious and then doesn't follow up
at a decent hour, but:

Apparently the Soviet Space shuttle is attached to an Energia
which is on the pad and is almost ready for launch--weeks from
now rather than months.

Also the report said that their shuttle would be used only 2
or 3 times a year since it was not designed as an all purpose
vehicle (no names, no flames), but for crew transfer.

Anyone seen or read any more about this?
