That video shows so many vehicles and engines, so quickly, that I could not even read all the text captions completely.

Remarkably uninformative.

There were a couple quick ones, but I don't think it was designed to be much more than a quick highlight reel...

About all I got from it was "We're working on stuff that we think is cool." Where one of the cool things was creating rocket kerosene from waste plastic. So they're taking plastic that's sitting relatively inert somewhere and turning it into atmospheric gasses. Genius. I hope that project dies a gruesome death.

Let's get going with converting our CO2 and water into methane and oxygen for rockets. Get it working so efficiently and at such a scale that we can use it on Mars, too.
