I had to watch this again. In Kazakhstan. He and his sometimes GF got a ride to a point 30 km from the likely place, then walked 30 km, partly at night to the old hangars, slept in a building, then broke in to see the Soviet Space shuttle. They had been told if caught this was automatic jail time. They got a fine and maybe a tour. Worth watching to the end.

They are such a cute pair. IRL she is a Belarusian with a MS in structures and works for some big engineering firm somewhere.

🇷🇺Since we began exploring the former USSR we have discovered all kinds of wonderful examples of Soviet art and technology. However this time I went in search of the biggest prize of all…I just didn’t realise it would cause such a fuss as it did. Glory to the Soviet space engineers and cosmonauts! Glory to the Buran!

Loved Orville. I found ST Discovery to be unwatchable, filled with ridiculous premises that made suspension of disbelief impossible, and woke BS from wall to wall. I gave Disco three full seasons, and the only reason I watched Season 3 was because the introduction of Pike and Spock in season 2 gave me hope that season 3 would “right the ship” (pun intended). After the train wreck of season 3, I gave up on Disco. Picard Seasons 1 & 2 were watchable fan service - Season 3 was a glorious trip down nostalgia lane that left me weeping more than once. Currently enjoying Strange New Worlds. For the most part it gives me hope that Trek is not doomed to a similar fate as the Disco debacle.

A couple shows I’ve really been enjoying are “Lincoln Lawyer” on Netflix, and “Bosch” on Amazon Prime. Both series are based on book characters created by the same author. Bosch has several seasons, Lincoln Lawyer just two.

I am easily amused.
I rewatched a Bald and Bankrupt episode from Sokh. One of his best. His and her personalities are priceless.
He and Belarusian GF Alina try to fly into an enclave named Sokh. They previously were not allowed to drive in.

12 min they fly in a Soviet era biplane.
18 min they are introduced to their room with three narrow beds.
Alina asks for a stranger to be put next to her.
They are given a boring tour. Mr. Bald  is nasty.

25 min the tour guy takes them to his nice home and feeds him.
Mr. Bald: Now I feel bad for all the bad things we said.
Alina: We??? You acted like total a**hole. :lolh:

26:43 they ditch the tour guy and ride off with some guy in a soviet era motorcycle with a flatbed sidecar.

They teach the children of Sokh in Tajik language and customs.

Entering A Mysterious Exclave You've Never Heard Of ( In A Soviet Bi-plane )

Earlier this year myself and Alina tried entering an Uzbek exclave surrounded entirely by Kyrgyzstan. If you saw the video you will know that we were not allowed in. But we don't give up that easy...And so when we discovered that there was a new flight route started up from Uzbekistan to the unknown exclave of Sokh we decided we would have to investigate and try to get in somehow to see what lay there beyond the mountains. Oh and it just happened to mean flying on an old Soviet bi-plane. How could anyone resists such an adventure?!
