i've been thinking... air travel HAS to change.
PATRIOT Act and TSA must be backed off, but it's so much more than that.
Being corralled through the airport like cattle, the airline finding every way to fuck you and not deliver the service (late and inconvenient, every time) -- air travel needs a refresh! Fook an airport, we turning airspace into something like public roads.
small planes and personal pilots licenses gonna become a major tool, IMO, for low orbit travel with improved battery/wireless power tech...
imagine flying to and from work halfway across the country, and being home in time for dinner.... having a 'neighborhood' runway and landing strip.
all of this may seem far-fetched, but there's a world in which this is very real. we've yet to even begin to understand the TRUE limitations of tech.
How efficient can the world be without the 6+ hours travel time for a simple 1hour flight...

Neighborhoods with hangers and strips already exist in some states.
correct! but they're so few and far between, and in my understanding, they're sort of a 'reserved for the wealthy' thing, since, you know, your average american isn't owning and maintaining a cessna... :)
kinda what gave me the image for the future
Your post reminded me I had seen one! Good idea, kinda like the Jetsons too and 5th Element.
