And I thought that was cute.

Hey! I just discovered after all these years, that VLC gave my browser a video plugin
(I ususally download MP4's.... first time I just clicked on it )

Not for those who are prone to vertigo.... A 500 foot high climb up inside the antenna array. No fancy quad-copters or aerobatics, this one is kinda scarey,

And then a much easier short climb, plus more views inside the control building. Look closely between 6:57 and 7:00

Look closely between 6:57 and 7:00

At least they didn't step on them

Hey Ed, what version of the .su anthem is that in the one vid? I want a copy!

[EWBrown]

Not sure what version that is, I'd SWAG that there are hundreds of versions over there from vintage classical to heavy metal to reggae

Update:

However, even though it sounds vaguely similar to L'Internationale, the music is: "Polyushko Polye" (Song of the Plains) performed by Red Army Choir:

This famous beautiful song was composed in Russia in 1933 by Lev Knipper and Viktor Gusev.

Different version on "Melodiya" records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1pViSI4C44

All versions start out and end with low volume, which slowly rises to a crescendo, then fades out. Probably simulating the sound of a group of marching soldiers,
singing, as they pass by, marching along, into battle.

[EWBrown]

Actually they did step on a lot of tubes, there were a lot more of them under foot

[Geek]

Very moving renditions, Ed. Thank you!
