I think we have stumbled on something here. The Wright
brothers took many years to build their flying machine and for the time, lots of money. But the amount was so low that it isn't even reported, still we can assume that it was more than the cost of a normal vacation from Ohio to the Atlantic coast. They flew a few feet off the ground at less than running speed. WWI increased spending and the airplanes flew higher and faster. WWII spent a lot more money and the airplanes flew even higher, faster and further. During the Cold War airplanes got VERY expensive and some airplanes cost two billion dollars each. This very airplane can fly around the world, drop bombs and fly home. In each case, it costs a lot of money. These new expensive airplanes don't even look like conventional airplanes, but again, without the money of the government they don't fly. Maybe flight is just a government conspiracy to spend money?

Cup holders allowed drinking in flight and that in turn
required "draining the pilot's sump" more often in flight. This required relief tubes, but then women started flying and that requires the potty. The potty requires plumbing and that means plumbers. More money "down the drain" [pun intended] and then the government started buying toilet seats and we all heard what THAT cost. Maybe we could try to build a jet engine that burned paper trash instead of petroleum products. This could save a lot of oil and several steps in the process of flight, they could just directly burn money. -- James H.

I can prove you are wrong. It's PAID bills that get men off the ground. See how long you will fly if you decide to stop paying the bills.
But there is no net movement of money. It's the money vortex that provides lift. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
