Yea, air travel will be looked upon by future historians as pretty cool.
But it is grossly inefficient, from an energy standpoint.
Do you think we'll be able to produce cheap, alternative fuels to
support air transport? Or do you think oil will somehow remain
relatively cheap? Do you have any concern for CO2 buildup in the
atmosphere and oceans?
If not, then hell yes, let's fly all we can. But to me, those
arguments mean air travel has begun a terminal decline.
