How did my name get mixed with Ron Paul wackjobs on your ping list? I figured you'd get as much of a kick out of mocking Ron Paul as I did!

The Sanger Silver Bird. Really revolutionary stuff for the 1940's.
Yes, and we have similarly ‘detailed’ designs for ships to fly to alpha centauri. It is just not that hard to sketch up something vaguely feasible but far from currently constructable. There were ideas for nuclear rockets in the 30s and 40s too but it was not until the 60 and 70 before nuclear rocket engines were able to be built (and then proved to be impractical). Yes it is impressive that they dreamed stuff up, but not THAT impressive.

ATTENTION: It is now 2007, fully fifty years after the fact, and I STILL don't have my FLYING CAR! WHERE IS MY FLYING CAR?!

"I figured you'd get as much of a kick out of mocking Ron Paul as I did!" I do, but it looks creepy to see my name sandwiched within Ron Paul kookburgers. Still too close to Halloween for me I guess.

Ha! Ha! I forgot about the Moeller Skycar. Still waiting for the first flight for more than 20 years. Current stock price: $.81 share. Huckster.

The Nazis spent so much time, money, manpower and raw materials on goofy sci-fi stuff that they hurt their production of regular armaments.Much of this stuff was just lines-on-paper, meaning no serious effort was made to bring this stuff online. Propulsion, electronics & material science weren't up to the task. It's like Leonardo DaVinci's drawing of a crude tank - so what? If you don't have the materials that are strong & light enough to build one, and if you don't have precision machining to build the drive mechanism, then it's all pie-in-the-sky.
