That's the unicorn spirit!

No, seriously, we when from Kitty Hawk to the moon because we had people looking to innovate where they could innovate.

When it comes to battery tech there is no shortage of people looking to innovate. -so many battery products- Anyway, Porsche's first car produced was electric. That was a bit before Kitty Hawk iirc. And so that begs the question of just how much has battery tech evolved since then. Obviously batteries were integral parts of submarines and spaceships, so just how much has battery tech improved in that same time span? I'm thinking energy density is a good metric to measure and compare.
