why cant we has fly cars???????
Simple Explanation:
If every car flew, there would be air congestion. Even if cars could hover, there would be billions of crashes due to this.
Anyway:
So basically, the USA has stolen everyone else's oil, and NOW is using their own?
About goddamn time. If this is successful it will drop oil prices like no other. What we REALLY need to do is stop richarding around with fossil fuel and start on a new fuel source like hydrogen on nuclear fission (Helium-3 harvested from the mooooooooon).
The whole idea with rockets is they produce more pollution by burning stuff than they would prevent by getting stuff.
Besides, from the moon? No way, too expensive.
Nuclear works, but is dangerous and stuff.
The others are too expensive and don't produce enough.
