Or it could be quite a lure. Maybe he *does* have a backup, but figures he can track the person down via any method of payment chosen, or via any delivery mechanism for the data.
It looks to me like it's 60 m, which is just shy of 70 yards. I wonder what the key muscle that determines speed, at that age, is. [Like, should I be doing calf raises, now? Squats? or just stick with the pizza slice curl?]
In my experience with airplanes, many people who love planes love sharing that interest. (Also, she's clearly not limiting herself to jets. And it doesn't say she's not sharing expenses. It says she's on a hitchhiker's budget.)
I'm quite certain that I ( a 43 year old chubby dude) could pick up a flight at the local airport...
My first thought was: clearly, that's not a real Faraday cage. And Ray's answer is probably the right hint---maybe the cage spacing determines which frequencies it's permeable to. So, it's impermeable to whatever fields the Tesla coils put out. But the RF from the controller gets through. (I'm surprised that there still isn't an interference problem, though.)
Ian Malcolm wonders what moral hazard will be found by this embryo selection. (Yes, they may produce more intelligent children, but perhaps they'll be less physically gifted, more more susceptible to emotional instability, or too/insufficiently filled with the urge to procreate, or easily addicted, or....
There have been a ton of people who do similar things (often, for some reason, with Disney movie songs). But this is soooo precisely and impressively done! (Perhaps I'm influenced by my affection for the song...but only a little. Man, this is seriously good.)
Didn't Marlin Brando wear a "cranial cooling unit" in Island of Dr. Moreau? (And isn't there some evidence that cooling the brain *does* make it work better?)
I agreed with the writeup more than I expected to (since I really like kale, pickles, and use sriracha habitually on certain things). But they're right. (Even though I've been mercifully spared some of these habits.)
I can't believe how long after watching healthy trees snapped by the wind...how long it took for them to realize they should maybe move away from the window. Oh my god, you guys.

(Using his definition of "special effects", though, Star Wars was also made without them....)
