Quite an interesting APOD for today.

| Wow. I realised things would look distorted (pretty much as the highway) but that cube was beyond what I've imagined. |

All the traveling is being done at the same speeds. The first clip shown is with all the relativistic effects turned off, but with the same acceleration as in all the other desert clips. |

That is some brutal acceleration. From zero to 0.90 C in just a few seconds requires a major tune-up of your V8-engine.
