Great video of a fascinating incident! Enjoyed it. The bit where they successfully evaded the interceptors by pure chance absolutely sent me. What a wild story and it's such a shame that the Soviet response is to punish everyone involved (although objectively it is a catalogue of serious errors - say it had been a live weapons launch, for example). I will say that I found the flashing effects in the drawn sections around 10' quite distracting, however.

Was trying to track the places using Google maps so was happy when you switched to showing everything on the map. Great video.

Same here. I see a Paper Sky notification and I suddenly find myself on Patreon or Nebula.
