The Russians didn't just send up automated freighters, they sent up an automated shuttle just before the wall came down, the Buran went up, orbitted and came back down all without a crew. It survived the rigours of space and re-entry...then the hangar it was housed in collapsed and destroyed it...

In other shuttle news, Discovery goes up tonight 9:50 GMT.
