The Moller air Car WILL fly- if you throw it out of a C-5 at 20,000
feet.

The general populace are the sort who think they're doing a good deed by
changing the oil in the car once a year and then wonder why the &$%# thing
smokes after 75K miles.  Pilots who simply "kick the tire and light the
fire" get thinned out pretty quickley.  The Medical Profession lost a number
of colleagues back in the 60's and 70's by pilots (license holders?) who
thought they could jump into their Beech Bonanza anytime they needed to get
somewhere quickly.

Thankfully, Moller's Air Car is futuristic fantasy.  I can just imagine what
traffic would be like with the general populace navigating through an
additional dimention - a futuristic nightmare!   Traffic wouldn't get any
better either.  If the air-car were to ever reach production stage, you can
bet a consortium of hungry lawyers would be chasing each and every one.

PS - at $12 a year, PopSci is a bargain.  But I sure wish the pages were
softer ;-)
