Wasn't it used in a movie once? A horror flick starring jamie Lee Curtis? I think the movie was Virus.

These regular modified ships were used even for the first flight of Yuri Gagarin.

Yes, it seems quite aerodynamic. I'm sure it flew like a bird.

Man, you just beat me to it. Yeah, the movie was called ‘Virus’, and it starred Donald Sutherland and Jamie Lee Curtis. It was about a Russian monitoring ship just like this that got its computers infected by an alien program through a space station uplink, and started to make Borg-type slaves out of the crew. Sutherland was the captain of a salvage vessel who was on the verge of blowing his brains out over his finances when his ship encountered the science vessel adrift and claimed salvage rights to it. Shit went downhill real fast from there. Good Saturday night movie fare.

Just an aside comment, but the second picture, which purportedly is an IIR with number and title, is totally fake. Besides the fact they would never put all that information about the report on a photograph, the fact that whoever did it misspelled “Cannon” really shoots that down.

That IIR would have been vetted quite a few times before it was published.

That ship looks like it’s mission was to relay
pictures and accounts of games without the
express written consent of Major League Baseball.

Did I miss the mention of how many Commissars that they had to have to stay politically pure?

The Soviets NEVER did anything without Commissars.
