If you want to know how fast it is, take it to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Once a massive, prehistoric lake, the smooth salt bottom is all that's left — and it's perfect for seeing how fast something will go. From hyper-modified everyday grocery-getters to diesel rigs and jet-powered cars, there's something for everyone. Mashable went to the Flats to speak with some of the fastest people on the planet — and they're all amateurs. They're all out here just for a chance at the record books — no championships or prizes.

Third Man Records Detroit Pressing Plant

Jack White's Third Man Records has been taking music back to the Golden Era since 2001. The label is pushing the vinyl resurgence one step further by opening their own pressing plant. Located in Detoit's Cass Corridor — where the White Stripes played their first show in 1997 — the factory will operate eight brand new vinyl presses from German startup Newbilt and aims to no only fill the new demand for records, but also help to bring the Motor City back to its manufacturing roots.

Jetpack Skiing

If it can be done, doing it with a jetpack will make it better — and slightly more dangerous. Ski Cross World Champion Filip Flisar never misses a lunch with his mother and will use any means necessary to get there on time. In this case, it involves said jetpack and a shortcut through town.

Making Moonlight's Pollo a la Plancha

In honor of La La Land's — sorry — Moonlight's well-deserved Oscar win, Binging with Babish recreates the film's signature Pollo a la Plancha dish. There isn't anything too terribly complex about this recipe, but the results add up to a meal that is much more than the sum of its parts.

3D-Printed House

It's more a proof-of-concept than an actual home, at least by Western standards. But Apis Cor's innovative solution to on-sight 3D building printing shows how construction might take place in the future. In 24 hours, this 400 square-foot mini-house was built for about $10,000 — around 70% less than the average cost of about $1,000 per square foot in the United States. In addition to reduced costs, 3D printing allows for much more creative architecture, making the ubiquitous square house a thing of the past.

Preserving Video Game History

Saying that video games are just games is like saying ancient Greek myths are just myths. More than a way to waste time, they tell a story — of the people that made them, the people that played them, and the culture that they came from. But to know the history, you need more than just the game's code. Frank Cifaldi has amassed a collection of all the peripheral print that surrounds games and helps tell their story. He wants to take his collection, digitize it, and make it available to the public, in order to ensure that games and the people who made them have a history.
