I'm not on the tech side so this may sound dumb but how is it that we can have the technology to send someone into space, in our phone, but we don't have hover vehicles like the Jetsons. Serious, serious question, not trolling.

Gravity. You need to understand physics not "tech".

Very different kinds of engineering.

Actually, I think it's more about priorities. Just as companies have focused on making games instead of appliances for the handicapped. It's where the money is. And our culture has been driven by fossil fuel big business over creativity or global concerns. Storage travel uses vast more expensively, monopolized resources than might be reaped with flying cars which would require the restructuring of massive infrastructure.

This ^ Great point!

Because without fusion, hover vehicles that actually work like the ones in the jetsons would require absolutely enormous amounts of power, and be pollution causing which are two things that transportation tech as an industry are trying to steer away from.

We're still trying to create electric car batteries that don't have the potential to explode. Give it time.

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do? A company I’m interviewing with offers equity, and they say they anticipate going IPO or being bought out by a larger company in the industry. I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.
