This is the moon landing of our generation.

Your generation needs to think bigger.

Thanks, man... but I'm waiting for stable multidimensional wormholes, spaceships, and good old basic FTL drives.

Am I the only one thinking about the hilarious YouTube videos to be had of people injuring themselves on this...............

Theoretically the technology to build a interstellar craft could probably be built now. You cpuild use a a ion drive for acceleration and as you could maintain acceleration at about 1g for a around a year you achieve just under light speed.

Nope

Instead of hoverboards, I am thinking this technology would be more useful in creating those superfast railways and bullet-trains seeing as it requires a metal road way to function.

Personally I am not too intrigued because unlike a skateboard, I can't use this to get to work unless they decide to give the entire road a metal coating.

I am a bit more interested in NASAs theoritical warp-drive thingy that they are working on, and of course googles quantum computer.

Alcabierre Project?
Its a workable idea, with some major drawbacks.

Alcubierre Project

And yeh, it is in the early "speculation stage", but it is a lot more interesting to see work on this, because if the expected end result can be achieved, that would be the entry-point in actual future-age.

Sooner have the DeLorean.
