    That's actually a pretty good point; once people get used to the idea of self-driving cars, making the flying ones exclusively automated should be much more palatable and, therefore, infinitely safer.
    Now all we have to do is invent a way to fly without wings or burning up gallons of fuel/minute….

    I'm personally in love with Pop Science's pretty regular predictions about the future of travel, which almost always include some form of airship mass transit. I don't think they're likely, for starters the name "Hindenburg" is hanging over every investor's head when considering it, but they're pretty entertaining.

    I don't personally believe flying will ever be an economic means of everyday travel. The potential time and distance savings for, say commuting from home to work can't possibly be high enough to offset the increased energy costs of countering the force of gravity.

    There's still errands you have to run in-person, not to mention the basic human need to leave the home and socialize with others. And even if transport is mostly public, it's still going to come down to cost-effectiveness.

    Public transit is overwhelmingly for the benefit of low income people in the US. People who have to physically be at a place and cannot simply telecommute. The way we lay out cities and towns also necessitates riding or driving over walking.

    My favourite part of Popular Science is the retrospective page in the back where they show the covers from old issues, "Look at the goofy horseshit from way back when!" when the issue you're holding has a cover story about how public transit in 20 years will be huge bio-mechanical flying jellyfish or whatever the else fuck

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

  • Options
    BroloBrolo Broseidon Lord of the BroceanRegistered User regular
    look if they DO look the same it's because they're all from the same FAKED source

    if they DON'T look the same it's because different FAKERS are making FAKES and getting it wrong

    how do you not see that

    how can you know what light is doing if it's too far away to see

    you can't trust light when its both a wave and a particle at the same time

    there's a little something called the uncertainty principle maybe you should read about it

    A lot of the images you see in any image search for planets look fake because they're artist renderings. Like, yeah if you're just doing a GIS for Jupiter you're going to find hundreds images from NASA that aren't actual images, but you're missing the artist attribution because you're only looking on Google.

    Though, as I recently found out, in a way all the faked images do come from one source because NASA provides free high quality textures of planets from their probe data.
