Can't argue with something named Flying Saucer.

I saw one yesterday, driving West at sunset. Scattered Cirrocumulus clouds with 10-20% coverage, when one of them flared to 10-100X momentarily for no apparent reason.

A company called Relativity Aerospace is 3D printing rocket engines. A 3D printed aluminum car body would leapfrog over Tesla's Gigapresses and add the ability to make any arbitrary body shell for any arbitrary drive train.
