The helicopter is mostly autonomous due to the time delay sending signals so far.
It is amazing!

Some truly amazing science shit is going down. Been loving all the space things happening, innovations in electric vehicles, batteries, AI, and the list goes on. Surely some horny scientist out there is working on the ultimate sex robot - has to be in final test somewhere.
