This could be 'on topic' if we added it to KSP. But it\'s a crazy idea to try and make it real.

I think they are kidding, but are going to get government money anyways.

Man, how awesome would be be to work at Boeing on a project like this.

'Hey socket! How\'s the flying car going'

'Pffthctch... Been working hard!'

'...Why do you have a keg of beer'

':-[ Human analog'

'You\'re just getting drunk in that hanger aren\'t you?'

'wanna come?'

' Yes.'

You sir win an internet... forget that, you win everything for finding that obscure piece of history. No one will ever believe me that it\'s true, you can make an inflatable airplane.

This is the win win situation for ANY problem now. Space ship? Inflatable. Flying car? Inflatable. Moon base? Inflatable.

They sound like they\'d be easy targets for a sam

[Technical Ben]

They have defiantly been watching too much sci-fi.

I suppose it could be worse, they could have watch too much fantasy, and be asking for giant flying eagles and walking trees.
