The Vantablack Car
is a one-of-a-kind BMW.I wonder who ends up with it,
after whipping up public-interest and congressional support for some Biggie Vantablack contract??
The normally $76,000 model (At its most basic) could be worth $300,000, but that's guessing, only BMW would know.
Flat-black from spray cans wouldn't make enough money.
You can't just go around willy-nilly painting satellites black, it isn't done.
My take:
Science lives on grants and donations, and publicity.
Black absorbs light (and heat)
Um, How do they keep satellites from getting too hot?
(shush, adults are speaking) Yeah OK nevermind

I don't know if it's just the careful multi-camera editing, but please look at 00:34-00:36 to see that people really were moved by that parade.
This video has nothing to do with Parades (I don't think) but it reminds me of the soundtrack in
"The hunt for Red October" at the end of the movie.
It's moving because of the style of singing, Basso Profondo (which spellchecker is calling out as wrong, but Google swaps out the 'U" for an "O" (or whatever, they used low voices)

If you reeeeally look, most playback audio is with polyphonic choirs, not the choir in my head of salty old men remembering their comrades.
A lone woman belting out "Amazing grace" sounds better mezzo-soprano, but "Eternal Father" sounds great in a lower register sung by many.
