  1. remembering the day on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1

    I think it is safe to say that this date is now a significant one... my only hope is that, as we remember the events of 9/11, that Americans especially do not trivialize this day in years to come. It could happen. 20 years from now, people could be having cook-outs and parades.

    That's what we Americans sometimes do - we forget what makes a day significant in the first place. Most people think of memorial day as a day off from work to go shopping...

    May we never forget, and may our children never know the experience again in their lifetime.

    Ironically, when www.namebase.org was /.ed, I found a google cached snapshot of the site...

  3. Re:what would you do? on NASA Tests Flying Scooter For Commercial Take-Off · · Score: 2

    If it works anything like a helicopter, then you can use the fan blades like a paracute to slow you down to survivable speeds.

    military pilots practice kind of thing.

  4. Re:Traffic Control on NASA Tests Flying Scooter For Commercial Take-Off · · Score: 1

    visual flight rules, proximity warnings, altitude restrictions, etc. ... who knows.

    I'm sure that if these things were commercially available there would be a whole host of training, license, and insurance issues that would have to be worked out.
