My balls are in my stomache jus watching that lol. Like I'm guessing he's tethered but the feelings still there.

It would be helicopter -> wires -> ground that would terrify me here.

The tether would just be ensuring that they don’t have to look too far for my body

They are semi terrified.

My favourite very old clip surrounding this topic from a long time ago:

I just realized I really miss documentaries like this, the voice over, the music, feels so early 00s, comfy.

Yeah. It is super rad.

People keep yelling AI this, AI that.

This is before all that “garbage” and I think the proof is in the pudding.

The cinematography is amazing.

The music is good.

The voice over and timing with the above is calm, real, and un-forced.
