Lovecraft lol it's happening much, much, much sooner. You naysayers amuse me. You're the type if person to say powered flight will never happen in 1902

@fuzzywzhe yeah I don't think you know what you're talking about, carbon nanotubes don't oxidise

@fuzzywzhe If it doesn't contradict the laws of physics then it's an overcome-able problem. End of discussion.

@fuzzywzhe State the temperature it melts at

@livethefuture2492 small hurdle

Lovecraft This doesn't break any laws

Lovecraft Ok don't say stupid shit then

@michael-dm2bv It breaks common sense? Yeah I'm pretty sure powered flight also broke common sense before the 19th and 20th century

@michael-dm2bv How are you gonna get something heavier than air to stay up in the sky huh? But physics won't allow it. But the materials aren't strong enough. It'll be too heavy, it cant have an engine, how can it fly if it doesnt flap its wings, huh, common sense bro.

@michael-dm2bv Flight did not make sense before the 20th century actually, with the New York times in 1903 reporting that heavier than air flight won't happen for another million years, lol. Just because your brain can't comprehend something that hasn't been invented yet doesn't make it impossible.

@michael-dm2bv No need to visit space? Ok I'm convinced you're some done with life boomer at this point. If you don't think mankind needs to progress into a space fairing species then your credibility is basically zero. There's no model in nature for GPS satellites and yet they exist don't they? Of course we need to go to space you muppet, we need to get off this planet ASAP. Every generation has some anti progress nut jobs. "Oooo you young people and your powered flight, I'm perfectly fine here on the ground, we will never need aeroplanes anyways" typical old people eh.
