In the long tradition of human beings building things simply to see if they can, a creator has assembled a twenty-five-foot rideable battleship — complete with fireworks — for four hundred dollars, and shared every step of the process with the world. The project lives at the boundary between engineering and spectacle, where the point is not utility but possibility. It is a reminder that the impulse to make something audacious has never required institutional permission, only the willingness to begin.
