NASA 2011 Future of Flight Competition: artcontest.larc.nasa.gov The human race once believed that the possibility of flying through our atmosphere was nothing more than just a dream. However, two men proved the reality that humans can in fact take to the skies. The Wright Brothers changed the human perspective on the meaning of the word impossible. Humans, ever since, continued on with that curiosity and began to further question the limits of human aviation. Is it possible to exceed the speed of sound? Is it possible for the human race to live beyond the surface of our planet? Is it possible to land a man on the moon? A scientist by the name of Robert Goddard once said, “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.” The future of flight within and outside of our planet is filled with infinite possibilities. When we, the human race, have the desire to cooperate as a whole, only then can we truly achieve the unimaginable and thus the meaning of the word impossible will cease to exist. The F-177 Aerojet is my vision of how people will transverse the earth. Numerous flights that travel half way around the world can take up to 18-20 hours of airtime. Replacing those flights with suborbital aircraft, we can use Earth’s rotation to our advantage along with our advances in propulsion to transport ourselves to those far away destinations; turning hours into minutes. Space tourism has already begun …

Oh yeah, that’ll happen. Nice artwork though.
@5xls You know it’s comical that you say that. I love the caption to this because it’s so true. Growing up, I used to watch Star Trek with my father and he said the same thing. No such thing as wireless phones and communication devices, no computers that can automatically control everything on a aircraft, no flat screen television sets. Yet so much of what those writers imagined have more or less become a reality. Sure, perhaps the idea is far fetched, but then again, perhaps it isn’t…
@RichWelis I hope you’re correct. I want a ride!
