being in motion again

I still think of air travel as this futuristic thing. How can you not feel this way as you find yourself levitating above the clouds, gently bumping up and down back and forth with a hundred other people, all calmy listening to music and writing in crossword puzzles, together in this clean white cylindrical plastic and aluminum machine? Maybe it's all an illusion, maybe air travel is really a holdover from the twentieth century, one day soon going the way of the Zeppelin?

After all, where will we get the kerosene to feed their turbines?

I recently learned that there are processes to break down organic matter into something close enough to Jet-A to work. It made me very happy.
