Awesome Video and Photos of an Abandoned Soviet Space Shuttle and Launch Facility

You've got to check out these awesome photos and video from inside an abandoned Soviet launch facility that houses an abandoned Soviet space shuttle! This is located at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, in southern Kazakhstan.

The facility was broken into by Bob Thissen of Exploring the Unbeaten Path and a team of adventurers. The shuttle was part of the Buran program in the 1970s through the 1990s. He explained on his website, where you can see even more photos.

The craziest and most dangerous adventure ever! Hidden inside hangars in Baikonur you can find two Spaceshuttles dating back from the Space Race during the Cold War. The Buran programme was the largest and the most expensive in the history of Soviet Space Exploration. The project got canceled in 1993.

I love exploring old run down building and towns. Going into a place like and exploring a couple abandoned space shuttles would be so freakin' rad! 

NL and ENG subs ! Sorry for not uploading for a while, 30% of my footage shot here was corrupt. It took a lot of time to retrieve a bit of the material. Our craziest and most dangerous adventure ever !
