The driver was badly wounded, they do not mention what exactly. The (german) comments are what they sound like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=16&v=DVRo2S60eIg Now we know why crash test cars are drawn by a cable. How can one be so thoughtless empty headed ? There was a driver in that!? "If only we had the technology to somehow make this lorry move without a person in it..." "For gods sake man this is 2017 not Buck Rogers in the 31st century, tell you what I'll fly a magical self driving lorry here in my flying car! Now GET IN THE CAB!"

Green Baron Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Absolutely idiotic. If it wasn't that sad they could almost apply for the Darwin award ... Edit: read the comments to the 2017 winner so-far "503 Server Overload".

NSEP Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 First of all: where is the engine providing that huge plume? Second: Where are the fuel tanks? Is the fuel in the walls? Surrounding the crew? Is that not pretty dangerous? Third: How did the lady at the bottom get her head decapitated so smoothly, that she still looks alive? Fourth: Why is nobody wearing a spacesuit? I think they need at least a space uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth: Why is nobody wearing a spacesuit? I think they need at least a space uniform. I know right! I hate these kind of rocket drawings. Even little kids know there's no room for fuel! Just look at any real-life rocket, ANY ROCKET AT ALL, and tell me, does this look remotely similar in the slightest?!?!

Do you realize i was just joking around and not being 100% serious right? But its still is a bad projection of a rocket, i know a 11 year old kid who still believes only people ride rockets, and does not believe rockets mostly carry satellites. He still think satellites launch on their own. These rockets are not good projection of rockets, especially in a future spacefaring society. And im not saying it has to be realistic, but with in least some realism, like even a little bit, these kind of drawings have N O N E Edited May 7, 2017 by NSEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
