How much fucking money was deposited to make a piece of shit car fly for a couple of seconds
They basically used the stabilization from SpaceX mixed with the old compress air gimmick that was used in the 1984 Olympics, which only work for very short flights because you quickly run out of compressed Nitrogen after a couple of seconds, which is a technology from the cutting edge 1960s. It's great to make a visual stunt but you need to constantly recharge the nitrogen canisters each time the feature is used to impress your friends for a couple of seconds.
I don’t get Reddit. This was a dope demonstration. Everyone acting like their personal money was spent on something stupid. Spending money on plastic water bottles when perfectly good water comes from some pipes nearby is just as insane in my book.
Right? Too bad we didn't have reddit back when Evil Knivel was wasting his money doing crazy motorcycle stunts so that reddit could tell us how it was all just a waste on a performative spectacle.
