the car, the rocket, the bond villain, and the answer

This is a thing that is inevitable, stupid, absurd, amazing, unlikely, a triumph, a travesty, a cosmic joke, a monument, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

But there's a car JUMPING OVER YOU right now, falling at meaninglessly high velocities, fast enough that it won't ever actually come down. Do you know what that means?
You're taking part in the greatest automobile stunt of all time. You. Personally.
As has been pointed out previously, this is both stupid and absurd, and a whole bunch of other stuff too. It's enough to make one's toots staccato.

But what the hell, isn't this a wild time to be alive? That's a thing that's never been done before, happening right now, right in front of our noses and above our heads.
This is a miracle of rare device.
Even if the miracle is also basically saying "Eat at Joe's" too.
