        .@neiltyson The spoiler increases the car’s mass by the mass of the spoiler. Owned again, Tyson.

        @Peter_Lynn @neiltyson It's also totally a jerk for telling you what's going to happen at the end of the car.

        @ryantologist @neiltyson Also, it spoils the appearance of the car—thus the name.

        @neiltyson what would a pollution map above that speedway look like? Is it bad? Maybe we should boycott this sport for the #cosmos
