How come Americans and Russians use the similiar space shuttle designs?

ant cannot promote this post because ant does not have enough Power Points. (You can always purchase more Power Points.)

found this in wiki article:

The development of the Buran began in the early 1970s as a response to the U.S. Space Shuttle program. While the Soviet engineers favoured a smaller, lighter lifting body vehicle, the military leadership pushed for a direct, full scale copy of the double-delta wing Space Shuttle, in an effort to maintain the strategic parity between the superpowers.

^I'm not sure about that. I think mine was first, although I discarded it later cause it only got 6 votes. I think that's why I pasted the link to mine in that other post a couple of days back and then ant promoted it from my discarded list. I wish I could see the original date somewhere... *discuss - we've got two copies of a russian space shuttle flying around
