Guys,

We're beating up Stan and he's not going to give in, I for one hope he is successful. Most of us grew up on the "Jetsons" and don't forget Luke Skywalker's "Speeder", pretty neat concepts. When we talk about the future the subject is somewhat open-ended. Just when will the auto leave the scene and be replaced by something else? The future is difficult to define, are we talking about a few decades or centuries or something in-between? At some point aviation will become obsolete, remember the "transporter" in Star Trek? My point is simple, we've seen a lot of changes and technology seems to be moving at an ever faster pace, but we can only see a small distance into the future the rest is fun speculation! There are always obstacles to overcome, I think Stan has the kind of attitude that is needed to push through and actually create something new and that is what a lot of EAA homebuilders do everyday.

Good Luck Stan!

Joe
