Those TESLA autos are amazing!
About a month ago, there was a Tesla right in front of me (in traffic)... It was beautiful, and I was thinking about a World's Fair ride I took as a child...it was in a Mustang and was about cars of the future!! It was one of those Car Of The Future moments.... The wonder of it all, in the eyes of a child...
That bike looks great, especially for hilly terrains!

And, just two short 20 year generations earlier than the mustang...We children were riding around with our parents...staring out the windows...of Model A's...and dreaming about Mustangs...Amazing!

Personally, I always wanted a ride in the Jetson's auto....

That's one of my favorite movies!!
so great how they filmed that! The space cruise and how she absorbed everything so quickly from the computer... A great movie!

I lave always loved Sci Fi and it's so great to see some really great Sci Fi or futuristic movies!!
Speaking of New Technology... have thought about being Cryogenically frozen at the End of the End, to be able to see the future! Ted Williams was and a few other people that are known, were. Not Walt Disney tho.. In a couple of years they feel confident that the first human head transplant will take place. Or a Time Machine... would be THE BEST invention!!

I'm not big into cryogenics and head transplants. There is more and more evidence that soul reincarnation exists. I think that past life regression will become a scientific artform in the near future. I watched a video recently...but, lost track of it and need to find it again, where Michio Kaku talked about what we're able to do with the human mind now. We can actually peer into the mind now and see the images that it is imaging. We are also beginning to be able to download and upload memories from one person to another. I just read a little bit yesterday about a female pilot who can fly a plane using only her mind. Stephen Hawkings also has a special pair of glasses now that monitors his brain waves and is being developed to allow him to turn his thoughts into speech. We are living the future right now. Amazing!

^ I just remembered the rest of what he said. We are quickly getting to the point where we will be able to download the complete essence of a person...feelings, memories and personality...onto a chip or disc...and then upload it into a clone of that person.

I'm sure of reincarnation and actually have met people who have been regressed many times to remember past lives. It is fascinating to hear them tell the stories and their impressions of where they are, what they are wearing, even understanding other languages and recognizing people from past lives, in their lives today. There is a man Dr. Weiss who had a patient that was recalling a past life, he has since wrote a book, Many Lives, Many Masters. Written about his first experience with that person, and many subsequent people afterwards. I also attended a lecture where he regressed the entire audience for about 40 minutes. When we were all brought back, everyone was recalling stories of past lives to each other... It was pretty amazing to say the least. Before this, as a child I had several recurring dreams that made me feel I had past lives. I think that's why I particularly like Medieval/ Baroque times as well as Victorian times, while my girlfriend likes Early American. I had the most unbelievable regression. That must be why I like the Cosmos. That is amazing about the woman pilot, going to look for that! Also very amazing about Stephen Hawking! All very interesting information!! Here's one of many videos on the subject that I've looked at over time
I also believe there are people from your past life , that you meet again in this life! I've had the experience of the separation of the soul from the body, in a sensory deprivation tank! Very cool it was! This is a favorite subject of mine.... Oh, so when I was regressed , they ask you to look around, and then down at your feet to see what you are wearing... I looked around and saw stars moving, kind of like in 2001 A Space Odyssey...then when I looked down, there was no spaceship... Talk about star stuff !!
I tried to ask Dr. Weiss about it at the book signing, but was told no questions...so I am still puzzled about it all, to this day!
Other people there only saw things like being outside a teepee while their mom gave birth to their sister, inside it! It's hard to believe for some, but not for me. Going to look for the links you mentioned !

ION propelled NASA Dawn spacecraft launched in September of 2007, goes into orbit around planetoid Ceres today. Found this very detailed explanation of the mission and accomplishments so far (including having orbited around planetoid Vesta for a year)...

I'm still waiting for flying cars. Though I think they should never be allowed in China.

The first city in the US to use 100% renewable energy! It took a long time since the 70's
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/vermont-city-come-rely-100-percent-renewable-energy/ Steven, watched the video on the Dawn Mission...it was really interesting. Thanks for posting the link!
Waiting to hear about the lights on Ceres!

I'm envisioning a traffic control tower on every block.

People can't even drive them, let alone fly them! They would have to be automatic somehow.

They make more energy than they use with wind and solar and hydroelectric
It seems to me that I read that 1 wind turbine can produce enough electricity to power 40,000 households
Here's a chart to the top wind turbine states... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wind_power_capacity_density_by_state_2013.svg Those 2 lights on Ceres are interesting indeed. Some people think there may be liquid in some form under the surface. They are in the middle of what looks like it could be an impact crater. I wonder if the surface wasn't cracked by the impact allowing something to seep up and freeze.

Exactly!
I'm not so sure about relying on a heavier than air vehicle with no wings to get me safely from place to place. Especially, when all it takes is a sensor malfunction or other system glitch to make you drop out of the sky.

Perhaps we've just not unlocked the secret of levitation in flying cars yet... the aliens have come a long way using whatever it is that allows their craft to fly. As far as the wind turbines... they have talked about putting them off the coast in the ocean near to where I live. The oceanfront owners are protesting that they are too ugly...what??? they are beautiful. There also was the case of a homeowner in my state, who got a permit to put up a wind turbine. His bill was about $9.50 a month. The neighbors didn't like it and they made him take it down!!
A bit ominous from Stephen Hawking... I've read a lot of Sci Fi in my day, where the robots rise up... the point he makes is very valid. If the computer techs of the world are mainly like the computer tech where I work, we are doomed!! http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/12/09/hawkings-fear-of-human-extinction-is-all-about-programing/ What a chilling moment in 2001 A Space Odyssey when HAL reads the humans lips and sees that they are going to shut him down....

That can't be good for anyone.

Have you ever driven in China? I'd never leave the house if we had flying cars.
