If there is one thing decades of space exploration have taught us, that's the fact it takes quite a lot of effort, but above all patience, to send and receive signals to and from distant spacecraft.

The Super Bee was Dodge’s counter-offer to Plymouth’s Road Runner. Both nameplates debuted in 1968, but the fortunes weren’t smiling upon them the same way. While the cartoonish bird soared in sales, the humming bee never got the limelight, having the overpowering shadow of the second-gen Charger above its helmet. As such, the Super Bee is far rarer than the Road Runner; in other words, a way cooler barn find nowadays.
