Every big journey forward needs a first step. Seems small and waste of money at first (I thought the same). But I'm sure the Wright bros got laughed at too at first. As did many other inventions throughout history that went on to become the various forms of travel we take for granted today.
A lot of it is probably a billionaire playing around with his cash to do something cool no one else gets to do. But this is a great leap forward for future air travel. Really cool to see this happen and a nice distraction from the doom 'n' gloom clouding the news these days.
