I still do not understand the craze that is a wedding in the USA and the costs associated. Especially in the US where the divorce rate is something like 50%.

Yeah that quote is way off. It goes like this:

Don't forget the laser, particle cannon, and robot arm.

This has got to win. Where Audis have cameras to help you back up this thing has a sky crane with a camera that gently drops the vehicle down then flies itself away to smash itself.

I was a member of VS-21, the "Fighting Redtails", also based in Atsugi, and part of CVW-5 back in the late 90's.

Sorry, you are wrong, the worst movie car is the one that is less useful than the ship that carries it.

Funfact: the Lockheed SR-71 and D-21 combo was the loose basis for an 80s GI Joe version called the Night Raven. I can't link from my phone, go look it up. Loved that thing.

I know I nailed two of them, but I don't see how this was not one of those two:

A much simpler thing that works the same way is to just grab a clean dish rag and briefly run part of it under some water to just get it a tad wet. Then wring it out so it just feels damp.
