The Soviet Union's Buran, a piece of living palimpsest, was a cultural artifact before it rolled off the assembly line. It completed just one unmanned space flight before the program was canceled. That same vehicle was later destroyed when it's hangar collapsed at the Baikonur cosmodrome. However, several original full-scale mock-ups remain.
