Makani's kite is steered. This one just needs to stay aloft. Launching it is just a matter of a wind-up spool on a windvane-like small rotating platform (no more than a few m high)
> Makani's kite is steered. This one just needs to stay aloft
The implication is that you are suggesting that autonomous steering is neat and the other person is suggesting that not needing steering is neater.
Also, Makani was steered into the ground literally and figuratively. It's been cancelled. It will never do what it said it could do because its creators won't keep doing it. It's over.
