It's hard enough with selfies of my ugly face as it is. You've convinced me otherwise. Invisibility. I'll be invisible. My wife is hotter than your wife.

billvon 3,070 #33 January 12, 2015 >Invisibility would be far, far far far far far more profitable. I don't know about that. What's the going rate for putting small satellites in low Earth orbit? SpaceX is getting $700 per pound even for their big launchers, and I can pretty easily carry 250 pounds while flying (tandem student + rig.) That's $175,000 for a day's work. Probably have to put some money upfront for the pressure suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #35 January 13, 2015 I think this thread has now gone on long enough and we have enough people on record I can post this. It's John Hodgeman's take on the subject.

I'd expect skydivers to lean more heavily towards "flight" than the average whuffo. But then, whuffos not having experienced freefall the way skydivers have, maybe they would value flight even more highly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phillbo 11 #38 January 13, 2015 I'd like the ability to become invisible when I wanted but not to be invisible all the time.. Flying is easy to fake. Invisible , not so much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
