October 11, 20214 yr Now now this actually looks like a lot of fun, and unlike some of these things, it actually looks a bit practical too. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

And I'm a fan of electric aviation. The Joby and the Lilium and Eviation Alice are proper vehicles. Rather than something that looks like and flies like it was conceived by a nut job.

October 11, 20214 yr That was funny! I'd love to try the simulator that they had: VR headset with motion chair.

And others, with spindly protuberances purporting to be landing gear that are just as scary. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

October 13, 20214 yr Cars should be cars and planes should be planes I say. Combine the two and what is often referred to as a flying compromise becomes a flying monstrosity. Bask in my words of wisdom and award as many cat points as required. Edited October 13, 20214 yr by martin-w
