I didn't think this was special? I've done this in the mirrior? Not fast or anything, but it is "on demand".

#46A quick search online brings up multiple articles dating back a few years with examples of the same thing. It's not "an impossible feat". https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160229-the-sea-nomad-ch...
