I think that we should also be able to import "Green Cheese" from the moon, 
but I don't think that will happen in the near future.  
You have to consider that wheelchairs differ from user to user and are 
manufactured in many shapes and sizes.  Currently, airlines allow extra time to load 
chair users before others are allow to board.  That time would double/triple 
in time if everyones chair was allowed on the plane.  Who would be responsible 
for damage to the plane or to a wheelchair from trying to navigate down the 
aisle of a multimillion dollar jet.
Even Chris Reeve must transfer from his chair when flying.
I don't see that happening in the  next few centuries, my friend.  But who 
knows, one can only wish..
