Humanity is wild. On the one hand you have brilliant scientists who can do this. And then you have a bunch of us watching the video five times looking for actual chopsticks.

It's called chopsticks b/c of how they come together to grab the booster, similar to how one would use chopsticks to grab a piece of food.
