The Soviet Almaz-206 space station will go on display this week at the Isle of Man Motor Museum in Jurby after being held in storage by its owner, Excalibur Almaz. From 3FM, a local radio station on Isle of Man: Almaz-206 has been in storage since the 1990s but will now go on display "to encourage interest in space and science".Director of the Isle of Man Motor Museum, Darren Cunningham said the craft played a vital part in furthering our ability to live and work in space. "We're excited to have the space station join the VA capsule currently on display in the Museum to enable us to fully tell the story of this under-appreciated programme," he added. Apparently on the way to the museum, the convoy transporting the space station broke down. You couldn't make this up. A spacecraft - yes a SPACECRAFT — is blocking the road near Ballacraine.  | |
