I adamantly believe that 50 years from now, this technology will enable humankind to build light weight short tether personal spachips that will function two fold as an electric passenger spaceship that works on push and repel in the Earth's (or any other planets) magnetic field and therefore will also nicely surfice as a safe efficient atmospheric glider landing system in case an emergency situation occurs. <br />I envision these craft as being so lightweight and efficient that huge chemical launching platforms will be able to launch and orbit a thousand of these passenger ships at a time to earth orbit.<br />The issue to solve first, is what yet is to be discovered with the new nano technolgy process that should soon enable humandkind the option of building lightweight ship hulls that will firstly and most importantly protect the passengers from lethal radiation in space ...<br /><br /><br />http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technology/technovel_tether_041109.html<br /><br /><br />http://www.davidbrin.com/tankfarm1.html<br /><br />http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=133<br /><br /><br />http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=256<br /><br />I think I will attempt to name my next future grandchild, Mr. Sproket if it is a baby boy or little Miss.
