To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Well it's 2016 and their no sign of the Back to the Future style flying car and we will probably not see one in 2019, but this nut in his garden shed has come up with a hover bike 😎 and this guy has some great video, take a look at his YouTube page.

Downside is I think it cost 70 grand.
Just think about the accident videos we can watch on Youtube 🙂
Nice concept but still would need a ton of R&D for it to be practical
That's whats that Aerofex company being up to as they have been working on it since 2012.
Was wondering if anyone have tried a jet engine with some sort of vector thrust nozzles like a Harrier but I guess the fuel requirements would be too big, probably need a tanker to hold the fuel. 😆
