Interesting topic title, eh? {Tongue Out}

I think this is really cool; shows how far our automated technology has come. {Smile}

{Tongue Out} The Magic School bus lol,

do any of you remember that pre school book/cartoon?

That be awesome if we could fly an ordinary car into space. ^_^

Yes I did, but to much big words {Tongue Out}

I don't know, I'd feel better if I knew it wasn't going to attach by itself. It would be a huge disappointment if for some reason it messed up and caused an accident to whatever it attaches to.

Yeah, they're doing a test of the emergency abort feature before attempting the attachment, though. {Wink}

Interesting. I read part of it anyway. With growing technology, I can't wait until we get the technology to make all kinds of trips to the far out planets such as Jupitar and Saturn within an hour.

WOW, very cool {Cool}

Agreed.

TBH, you'll probably be dead or unable to harness the energy for the trips by the time technology like that is available. {Tongue Out}

Says who? {Tongue Out}

Do you think everyone knew there would be a light bulb 5 years before it was made? {Wink}

Our technology is advancing, but we aren't going to be able to reach other planets within an hour for a good amount of time. When it comes to space science they have to test it over and over again and by the time its perfected its been years.

Whose to say they haven't already begun testing these things? {Wink}

Re: Bus Flies Into Space - Posted By Tim (grievous) on 11th Mar 08 at 10:39am
We advance in technology very slowly, in my opinion, we won't be doing anything like this anytime soon, If this ever happens, it will be more than 30 or more years away.
