http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/content/photogallery/gallery_077/index.shtml - UKSS universal complex launch pad (stand) for Energiya rocket (area 250, Baikonur cosmodrome, 29 March 2006)

The Energia rocket used same components as the Russian Buran space shuttle, just without the shuttle. It was launched only once - in 1987 for the Polyus space battle station. That failed. The Buran shuttle only flew once, in 1988, succesfully, without a crew and did an autonomous landing on a runway.

The big pipes are crew and personnel escape tubes, I think.

I need to read through this thread from the beginning and archive all of these links in some better format than func_messageboard.

http://vondur.net/files/inspiration.txt 

that clearly is a lot better to read / remember than here on this msgboard oO

you'd need descriptions with that to be of any use.

Is there anybody out there?! 

There's lots of great stuff there if you browse through his updates. Only bad thing is that the images aren't of better quality.

The more I look the more I feel it's a goldmine - long live soviet russia! 

Do NOT click unless you've got some free time just now, heh :o)

We need a pipeline-esque index for all these. URL, two lines of description, and perhaps a thumbnail of the best or most characteristic pic on the site.
