Copycat in the Skies

(Originally Juno's Expense, but i realised it was too unoriginal for my liking...)

What if the Buran wasn't a failure?

Inspired by "Chasing Dreams" by Talverd.

Notice: i have  a tendency to "clone" missions once i read about them (autism my beloved) for this reason i have NOT READ  any of the Chasing Dreams  forum, except for the first post. If any cloning does appear to happen, it is merely coincidental.
