From your comment it sounds like it's a server problem (used by charger) rather than the posts being taken down. It sounded like a good topic for the date.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Levity aside, I am certain that the Moller air car -can- achieve horizontal flight. At least for a short distance off a carriers catapult. Harry K |

"Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired" wrote in message news:5gh3e.13547$%d7.4872@lakeread03... Well, to be technical about it was a picture I cut out of a magazine and folded into a paper airplane. It flew rather nicelly. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired I had a lengthy e-mail discussion with the editor of a well known business publication about the Skycar. Last fall, the magazine published an article extolling the Skycar and how it will revolutionize travel. I took them to task for publishing essentially the same story that has appeared in Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and every other marginally accurate publication of that type over the last 30 years. I pointed out that, other than a mock-up with a fancy red paint job, very little progress has been made over 40 years, and that we're still waiting on the Skycar's first flight. I also noted that one downside of good press is that more and more people are encouraged to invest their hard earned money in the same sinkhole that has claimed $100,000,000 in the last 30-40 years. Amazing that a seemingly reputable business magazine didn't do any more behind the scenes research before publishing what was essentially a press release for Moler... KB |
