Yeah! Flying Cars - Let's Make it Happen!

I love these challenges that NASA is putting out to the public with intentions of advancing technology by dangling prize money and publicity in the face of whoever can accomplish the specified goals. The X-Prize produced many innovative space shuttle designs (whether they all functioned well is another story, they were innovative) and this latest Personal Air Vehicle Challenge is sure to produce some cool flying car designs, I hope.

I'm not going to argue with anyone on the practicality of flying cars. On this topic I leave all reason at the door. We are living in the 21st century, we should have flying cars. End of story.

I want to ride to work like George frickin' Jetson everyday. Wheels and roads are old news man, waaaay to old school for my tastes. Just imagine how much the landscape would change if flying cars would be the main means of transportation...dare to dream.

Okay back to reality as I'm about step out the door for another dreamy driving experience in my Ford Escort.
