Near Total Recall

This picture is from the ball at the top of the Bayterek monument. The views of Astana are quite spectacular from there. It's about 300 feet up, and you can see virtually all of the new construction that's taken place since the capital was moved to Astana several years ago.

What I was told was that visitors can place their hand into the form at the center of the viewing deck, and music comes on and a light shines down, giving the visitor an amazing experience.

Of course the first thing I thought of was the scene at the end of Total Recall where Arnie puts his hand into the handprint, and the Martian machines that create breathable air start up. If someone had told me that placing your hand into the print would have turned up the heat in Astana, I would have gladly done it.
