You don't need to put it in the gear opposite to the direction it'll roll. Generally you want to put it in the gear with the lowest ratio (which in my car I think is first), as that will require the most amount of force to turn the engine. But also some engines shouldn't be rotated backwards because that might damage them. So that would mean put it in first facing downhill or reverse facing uphill.

I think the atmosphere can increase in volume when it gets warm because it's not a proper closed system, so the pressure doesn't go up in the same way.

They meant to say you interpreted the comment incorrectly, but that got autowronged to "commenting correctly".

They mean outrun in terms of acceleration/speed in a straight line, not outlast

The radioactive source isn't used for power in smoke detectors, it's used to detect smoke. What small scale devices use radioactivity actually for power?

There's really not much in it, I can kinda see it's slightly less green as well as brighter like you say.

They'll test it on the ground and flying slowly first before going fast to make sure it's safe enough.

Some phones can already do that, like wireless powershare (Samsung)
