Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental - Aircraft Of Nostalgia

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today a stunning aircraft needs to consist of much plastic and needs to have 2 engines… The Jumbo Jet of Boeing was a cool aircraft 42 years ago… The Boeing 777X which has composite wings and only 2 engines is a worthy successor of yesterday’s Queen of the Skies…

I wonder if you can live a life among state-of-the-art airplanes… If you are not deceived by modernity that science can reach everything you can long for… If you can keep your mind focused on protecting nature among mountains of plastic and of jet engines… If state-of-the-art technology doesn’t turn you from an explorer of nature into a ruler of nature… If you are not afraid amid modern technology without having a connection to the base…

That’s why I kept alive successful and breath-taking aircraft of the past, just like the Boeing 747 or Concorde, in nearly unchanged terms even in future… This could be the ultimate luxury: airplanes produced only for the emotional well-being of passengers… What’s more: all airplanes in terms of a goose or a swan are chased - is it by chance? I'm afraid striving for economical performance cancels senseless or just bionic beauty...


On the subject noise pollution… When I was a boy you were glad to hear an airplane take off… Nowadays you talk about noise pollution… People are not even happy over technological development…

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team

Poor, Poor NASA

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is not necessary that the next planets to our home planet Earth are suitable for landing... The atmosphere on Venus is unbearably hot and the atmosphere on Mars is flammable... To land on the planet next door is a light-headed decision to which you are compelled because everything else is too far...

So that human astronauts can land on suitable planets for landing you need much faster spacecraft than the current ones... In order to land on a friendly planet you have to develop way faster starships than the ones you try to perk up nowadays... If I were NASA I would not deal with anything else these days than the development of interstellar spacecraft propulsion...

Mars is not a suitable planet for landing it is only better than Venus... A Mars-landing is a catastrophic compromise in lack of interstellar spacecraft you always dreamed of...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
