If they told me about the fact that this is possible, I would not have believed.
But today, for the first time went to a popular science website and found the news of 9 circles around Mount Fuji, and then - the first flight took place already 24 June 2004.
While viewing a video, I got the impression that this technology for 20 years and it is a clear and accessible to all, and I alone have no clue.
