it's funny, ive had a lot of dreams about flying. well maybe not quite flying, but jumping every far and not falling lol. if i concentrate (while in the dream), i can sometimes get some lift. then it really is like flying.

weird?

Gene splicing could make it possible.

Birds can fly, so why can't we?
All we need to do is figure out what birds have which we don't.
If it's wings we need, then why not attach huge sheets of paper to our arms and then try flapping them and flying?


Well, we need to be a shit ton stronger, have hollow bones and lose like 75% of our body weight. Some flapping wings would probably work then.

Observations from the Voyager space probes have shown that the Titanian atmosphere is denser than Earth's, with a surface pressure about 1.45 times that of Earth's. Titan's atmosphere is about 1.19 times as massive as Earth's overall, or about 7.3 times more massive on a per surface area basis. It supports opaque haze layers that block most visible light from the Sun and other sources and renders Titan's surface features obscure. The atmosphere is so thick and the gravity so low that humans could fly through it by flapping "wings" attached to their arms. (wikipedia, lololol)

there is hope for you ^^

Don't forget to bring a jacket... a very very warm jacket, and try not to land in the lakes of liquid methane.

i think it's impossible to tell what sort of technology may become in the next ~20 years... who would have been able to predict what technology has done since 1990?
