A German technology museum in Speyer has the Russian orbiter "Buran", it is the only piece of it's kind. It would be cool to have an American Space Shuttle there alongside it's Russian companion.

Buran was - and is! - the only space-shuttle-type vehicle that is able to fly in space and land again while being fully remote-controlled.
