Buran

In 1989, it was projected that Buran would have an uncrewed second flight by 1993, with a duration of 15–20 days.[25] However, the dissolution of the Soviet Union led to funding drying up and the Buran programme was officially cancelled in 1993.[32][33]

We live on a planet with ruins that contain spaceships.

Buran's current situation is a bit sad. She belongs in a museum, not a rotting warehouse!
