Would the RAF (Royal Air Force, UK) come after me with fighter jets??? Also, if somehow I built an orbital space vehicle and phoned the governement and said "Im going to space, goodbye"... would they just think I was a looney... or would they scramble a fighter jet, a missile.. or even one of NASA's Shuttles after me lol??? And I wonder what the governents response would be if all of a sudden, a warp-powered starship swooped into orbit, with hundreds of humans on board.. from maybe 500 years into the future... How would we all act? Anyway, back to the flying car topic lol.. yeah, well... any flying vehicle doesnt handle as well as tires on a road does it... like a hovercraft or any other air vehicle, even a boat for that matter... you dont get the same level of handling... Would it be logical to abandon tires for an air approach?? James ID: 579581 ·
