This was built by a 12-year old girl.  It holds 2 people, sortof.  It did "lift off" at some point, to an altitude of several feet.  It has gyroscopes to balance it.  There are some displays.  It reportedly weighs more than 1,000 pounds.

For almost 10 years, it has been secured to Earth.

I've never seen it.  Very neat.  Exceptional for a 12 year old.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

It looks like it has a broadcast TV antenna and two satellite dishes (Dish network and DirecTv? -- or  perhaps TV and satellite internet).

You were the person whom I had thought would be interested.

I believe so.  There are also a long wire antenna, a short wire antenna, an HF antenna, and a j-hook (something like that)  antenna.  From in that structure, many radio frequencies can be reached.  There are several screens.  Nearby, there are some solar panels that power everything.
