Flying car, sub-orbital sightseeing, orbiting hotels!

Unread postby Zardoz » Sun 05 Nov 2006, 19:20:54

Can you believe this crap? It's like an article from a 1958 issue of Popular Mechanics:

Flying Cars, Orbital Flights ... Futuristic Travel Takes Off

How clueless can they be? As if anybody will be thinking of silliness like that in a post-Peak world.

I don't know which is worse, the horseshit about the orbiting hotel, or the fact that they're giving yet another publicity blurb to that master scam artist Paul Moller.

What are these ABC people smoking?

They're not thinking about oil depletion, like 99% of the population isn't. Certainly the technology for something like this is possible. The fuel just isn't there.
