This is one of those things that if it can be done, somebody will do it....if for no other reason than to impress the chicks. I mean, hell, I would do it if I could.

In fact, as soon as somebody does it, somebody else will make a version that can carry a passenger (a chick).

Probably half the things we have in this world are for no other reason than to impress the chicks.

Re: Do You think That We Can someday Fly like Birds?

maybe someday someone that is very good in inventing things, maybe one can invent that and think for an artificial wings for human..
but for now if i think of that it is really hard to do, it is really a matter of long study and discovery..
but we'll see all in the near future.

So...you're telling me instead of flapping my arms what I should be doing is holding my arms out straight and spin around real fast?
