Would you fly Russian Concorde or no Concorde at all...?

Russians had a Concorde called TU-144. It was terminated due to theft and political incorrectness plus whatever...

Would you fly this plane if it was available?

In comparison, US Shuttle program was terminated, only to be replaced with the Russian Space Program.

Russians have the Space monopoly for the time being, so why shouldn't they resurrect the awesome TU-144? Geesh, I'd fly from LED to Irkutsk with a 31" pitch just to experience the TU-144... nothing can beat the black caviar as far as food goes...
