i often ask questions and they die of old age with no answers.

i have seen old films of these in action, talk about innovative.

i often wonder just how far our technology will go. an uncle used to build rockets and atmospheric research devices, some carried by balloons. a good friend of mine makes airplanes for a major company here.

i like ships, air or water, space or inner space

good work!
