The Antonov An-225 is commercially available for flying any over-sized payload due the unique size of its cargo deck. Currently there is only one aircraft operating but a second mothballed airframe is being reconditioned and is scheduled for completion around mid to late 2008

You sure on that? NASA use a 747-100.

The crayzee russains used it to move there own version of the space shuttle, the Buran. Looks really similar.
