        no relation to the movie.



        On a relate note, it seems that we are actually turning toward the one piece sleek space ships like in the 50's and 60's sci-fi movies, with Space-X for instance.

        Space ships designed for atmospheric flight still need to be sleek.

            11th May 1961: Salesman Mike Dreschler has his motorised roller skates refuelled at a petrol station near Hartford, Connecticut. He has a single horsepower air-cooled engine strapped to his back and holds a clutch, accelerator and engine cut-off switch in his hand.

              LOL. He must of read that article!

              How do people not see the impracticality of such inventions? For sport, yeah sure. but for transportation? Not so much. Running people over on the sidewalk, tripping and breaking your leg or neck. Having to take them off to use stairs or when you go inside a store or building.

              Which is why we probably don't actually have flying cars. People are dangerous enough driving in two dimensions without worrying about crashing in 3 dimensions and crushing pedestrians, flying into houses, or running out of gas and being stuck in midair till Elmer Fudd can get you some gas.
