Where is my goddamn flying car!!!!! "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | ||

Forget the flying cars. I want to know where the spacecraft and off-world colonies are!

Forget the flying cars, spacecraft and off-world colonies...I'd settle for a Pleasure Model:  -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Where's my semi auto bolt action pistol? I'd rather my pleasure model wasn't super strong and could snap my neck if she got a little upset. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die. Live every day as if it is your last, for one day you’re sure to be right | |||

The danger just makes it more exciting. ------------------------------ "They who would give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "So this is how liberty dies; with thunderous applause." - Senator Amidala (Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith) | |||

I bought a book for my friend a few years ago called Where's My Jetpack?. I thought it was pretty cool. It tells why certain sci-fi depictions haven't come to be yet, like flying cars, neon spandex suits, transporters, conveyor belt sidewalks, et al.  | |||

well, Rachael was pretty hot, too, and had an indefinite lifespan. Of course, that could be a drawback, as I think about it...  -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Thanks I needed a suggestion for my next read.  As for the OP, I think it was 2005 when I posted "Where the hell is my flying car?!" Pretty sure we'll never get to that lil dream. | |||

I've been waiting for my flying car since I was a kid. Mechanics Illustrated has been promising them since the '30s. "Jetsons?" I'm beginning to to lose hope. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
