It will never happen due to air-space being the government's territory and noise pollution. Imagine if everyone had a plane inside of their garage and or multiple planes in one singular family. So a family of 5 EVENTUALLY would turn into 5 planes in the air going to 5 different places, EVENTUALLY. Broaden that to a city block and you literally have humans looking like flies in the air potential scenarios we haven't faced such as common plane crashes, potential pollution, ectt ectt

My late Father, a WW2 veteran who passed in 2009, once commented on flying cars, as there were some movies about that, like Back to the Future. As an army air corps radio man in the Pacific, his comment in the 80s about flying cars was that, the problem is user error, and flying is way different than driving, and also you would not only have a car crash, it also would fall out of the sky. Instant death in a flying car accident.'

There’s a sliding scale of the tasks to automate and those which you leave with the human. As AI improves it will be able to do more and more, but it isn’t there yet. Years ago we designed the navigator out of the plane, then the flight engineer, perhaps next it’s the co-Pilot ( first officer ). Automation should be able to lower the training requirements while increasing safety in the future.

However, unless I am mistaken, Neil Degrasse Tyson in this presentation tries to show academic superiority by attempting to outdo and trip the engineer, Wendy Okolo. I do not know as to what areas at NASA or extent Wendy Okolo deals with in her organisation but if she isn't already, should be the spokesperson and face of NASA for its public relations to the general public at large. She is highly intelligent and quite pretty. ☝️🙄

Air isn't entirely invisible. Just look up outside during the day. :) I'll explain more in a second. A lot of things are invisible. Light is invisible. You're only seeing the wavelength that wasn't absorbed by an object. And even then, that information is invisible until it hits your retina, where your brain parses that info into a color. But isn't it cool that air is invisible (to us) and that you can wave your hand really fast in front of you and feel it? So you know it's there. It's only invisible because the gas particles allow photons of light to pass through them. Except... photons of light *can* collide with a clear air molecules and reflect it... and you won't see it-so it's still invisible. That is until you have *lots* of air. So much air, in fact, that no matter how crystal clear it is, it's all reflecting light into your eyes. The sky is blue. Boom; air that you can see!

@15:09 good point on increased storm activity and storm avoidance, dr. This would also reduce the number of good-weather flyable days; and could raise the requirements for a basic pilots license by requiring Instrument Fligt Rules (IFR) certification. And also Moisture in the air creates icing situations, which builds the need for de-icing equipment, which may force retiring older and affordable aircraft, and raise the cost of new aircraft. And Global warming should also affect Density Altitude (thiner air) which increases the rolling distance for take-off and stopping; and may reduce your ceiling.

(No intersection between event horizons) And a strong and long rope that acts like an elevator. If we have two cabins that ascend and descend towards their respective black hole, assuming they have similar mass and acceleration, they can descend into the event horizons and come back together. In theory, is there anything that stops this from happening? (I know the cable should be very very strong and long) but is there any "theoretical" limit for that experiment?

Self-flying aircraft are probably less challenging to implement since the real issue with self-driving cars is that there are too many variables that even an average human brain can process faster than a computer and decide the best course of action. My car can follow the lines and stay centered, but if there's some road work going on, it sometimes tries to swerve to follow the wrong lines. An aircraft doesn't need to "see" what's going on in front of it at all times.
