[FPSPACE] More pictures from my Moscow trip

[LARRY KLAES]

Ever since I read about the Soviets having two fully built Veneras which 
they
were trying to sell for just a few million dollars apiece (and had no 
takers)
back in 1991, I wondered and asked around (including on this list) what had
become of them.

Now we know.  What a waste.

Any chance they can be restored and finally allowed to fulfill their 
destinies?

While we are at it, let's get Lunakhod 3 to the Moon as well.  I am sure
someone would be happy to build a scale model in its place.
