To paraphrase aircraft designer Burt Rutan: "Want to know if something is too heavy to include in your airplane? Toss it up in the air. Did it come back down? Then it's too heavy." Burt also famously said, "I would sell my grandmother to save a pound of weight!"
(Yeah, Steve, I realize that Burt is just an engineer who has designed dozens of airplanes and spacecraft. What does he know?)

Oh Give Me a Fkn Brake Marv.
So using your own statement from him then aircraft shouldn't really fly then, now should they? Because if, and I say if because no one can pick up any airplane and throw it in the air, but if you could it would drop like a FKN rock now wouldn't it?
Now why do all those other flying cars fly then. give me a fkn brake and think outside the box and books for once, it can be done, it has been done and will continue to be done for long after we are both gone, now wont it.

This concept I like. Who do I send that check to?

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun?

They made a hover bike which looks promising(and relatively inexpensive)

Yes, but is was found to be offensive to about 3% of the population. Another 54% of the population felt sorry for the 3%. So they banned it to feel better. We are left with this...

Like many of these future machines designed by "top scientist" or what not, they seem to be powered by violins and cellos

That actually looks pretty cool. Looks like it’s slow enough to just barely kill you.
