We currently have an airplane that can taxi, take off, and land without human help and with full air traffic but we make people do it because it is hard to sell load of passengers a ticket without having a human captain flying it. I read something many years ago about a flight that they did from CA USA to Australia and the only command radioed to the airplane was to fly a hold pattern because the air port was full. Ah, here it is, 2001! Remember that every 14 months computers get 2 times faster and cost half as much. What can this plane do now? Is it harder to fly with weather over a globe or in space? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RQ-4_Global_Hawk#Records -- Douglas E Knapp Why do we live? _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
