  • rocket graveyard in former USSR?

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 27 23:16:41 2015
    About 20 years ago, when I was working on oil rigs, somebody put on a porno video. I can't remember what it was called. Some sci-fi theme porn crap.
    But in the opening sequence, a few guys were in some sort of rocket graveyard. Acres of broken concrete with grass growing through it, and old rockets scattered around. I presume it must have been in a former Soviet country.
    Any ideas where that might be?

    My guess would be either Star City or some other Soviet area where ICBMs and/or Space Launchers were piled up. Hopefully someone else on here can nail it down for you. Many Soviet military bases and such were abandoned in place.

    Was a Buran shuttle there? The complex where the Buran shuttles were made was abandoned in place.
