Even if you’re not even remotely interested in Sci-Fi, chances are you’ve thought about what it would be like to travel to space. With people like Tesla (and SpaceX) founder Elon Musk and Virgin Galactic’s Richard Branson planning to send ordinary people into space — provided they’ve got enough funds to plonk down on a seat reservation — we’ll soon be flipping through brochures to decide where in the galaxy we’d like to spend our next vacation. But what will […]

Now in its third generation, the Aeromobil […]
