The Roadster's Real Secret Isn't the Car (SpaceX Thrusters Explained)

Tesla and SpaceX just showed the new Roadster, and everyone's talking about the flip and the jump. I think the real story is SpaceX's cold gas thruster system. It's the same idea SpaceX uses to flip Falcon 9 boosters, shrunk down to fit in a car, and I think SpaceX could sell it on its own for all kinds of uses here on Earth.
