I will admit, I thought the Roadster hype was excessive and claims that it will "fly" absurd. At best I thought we'd see a very fast car that might achieve some sort of temporary lift at a high speed. But my brain can't even process what I witnessed.

Punks in the West burnt bibles at rock concerts while punks in the East wore crucifixes around their neck. Same people, opposite ideological paths and therefore opposite rules to break. Anthropologically very interesting
