- fennecfoxen 5y agoLooks like there would be fewer opportunities to stop and connect to existing networks if you went that way.
- Sami_Lehtinen 5y agoOriginal route plan was exactly that, but there are reason why that route wasn't taken. This plan has been open for a decade aka ROTACS.

- edoceo 5y agoThat article has the same ad like a dozen times in a row, and also what is clearly JavaScript leaking out around them. Cool visual but what a sloppy site.
- mike_d 5y agoI suspect this site is taking a news feed from VK and blending it with content from other sites and rewording things to produce search engine spam. This particular article it looks like ate some JavaScript for breakfast and threw it up all over.
