Medicine that doesn't make me throw up. Tongue

Personal flight. The logistics of air traffic would be a pain in the ass, I think, but it would be awesome.

Even better drugs.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I doubt it. With the current population of people spread across the planet it would take a world wide mass extinction event to take us all out. Even then I think there would still be some of us who would survive,

I'm looking forward to a workaround or "cure" for severe damage to the nervous system.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Given most peoples utter inability to drive competently, giving them aircraft would be one long drawn out catastrophe.

It would however, make for some great youtube footage.Big Grin
