The Wright Stuff
12.03.03 (2:43 pm)   [edit]
On December 17th, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright brothers made history in 12 seconds. With Wilbur as the pilot, they made the first controlled, sustained flight in a power-driven heavier-than-air aircraft. They have been credited as the fathers of aviation - the inventors of the airplane. In two weeks we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of this feat that has changed our way of living - it's made the world so much smaller. One could say that the telephone, television and the internet have made the world even smaller but I feel nothing beats flying across the world and actually being there. So now I have to ask what's next?

Where are the flying cars I was promised? Where are the jet-packs (not the dangerous looking ones I see on NOVA or the Discovery Channel - I mean the user-friendly, compact ones on the Jetsons)? The flying cruise ships? The beach-front 5-star hotel on the Sea of Tranquility? Where is the next Wilbur or Orville Wright? Hope I'm not coming off as ungrateful, I'm not. Call me impatient. From the day a child is born, he/she dreams of flying. I'm no different. I want to fly. I want to fly on my own - not in an air-sardine can with 200 other sad people. Hand-gliding/paragliding etc. just ain't cutting it. I want to soar. I want to go into my parking lot, hop in a vehicle and 5 minutes later cruise at an altitude of 30,000 feet on my way to Grandma's house in Jamaica. Man, that would be sweet.

I know there are folks out there with their own airplane or private jet, but that's not what I'm talking about. That's only available to the elite. When will individual flight be available to the masses? Plus I don't want to have to deal with airport traffic control, renting airport hanger space and all that. Sometimes I think I'll be long dead and gone before the cool stuff gets here, like 0 calorie/carbohydrate Dulce de Leche icecream that tastes the same as the thunder thigh inducing full-calorie version currently in your grocer's freezer. I'd be willing to bury myself in a lab for years to invent these things if I had the mental capacity, but, alas, I'm not so hot at math (I add with my fingers). So I guess I'm counting on the millions of brainiacs out there to rescue me from a life this ordinary. So all you nerds out there feeling under-appreciated and needing encouragement. I'm here. I don't have much money, but I'll bake you cookies, I'll let you stay at my place instead of your Mom's basement, I'd even let you tell people I'm your girlfriend. Just get out there and invent me my flying car!!

Thank you in advance.

Mag-Lev high ways are currrently being made.

Mag-lev trains are in Aisa, and htey go very fast.

the idea behind these Highways, are that and indevidual wpould be to get into a capsul like car, and soar across the high ways without ever having to put their hands on the wheel.
