I think that's because theirs was built after America's. US shuttle design was
firmed up using mid-70's technology, as well as some stuff left over from the
60's. I'm not saying theirs isn't good, but it takes quite a bit of cash to
finance start-up, and then still a healthy amount to keep the program going.
Though they might pick it up relatively cheaply, there aren't many countries
who could afford to operate a shuttle.
