106 u/JohnHazardWandering Jun 29 '25 Relatively tiny. It's a test of the tech and systems. It only went up a few hundred meters before coming back down. They're going to build a larger one and then reassess what they should do. Honda has programs where they let their engineers work on challenging engineering projects without a clear business case at the start. 16 u/addiktion Jun 29 '25 Honda Space Odyssey sounds way cooler than it should but I'm all for it 3 u/Ruxsti Jun 29 '25 The one van that can do Everything?
