Because in the future, everything is safe! :) These pics are great – some are eerily prescient (like the ‘vision phone’ with the projector screen) and some are hilarious (like all the ones with people thinking nothing of leaning out of flying vehicles passing each other with no-doubt-deadly propellers spinning inches or feet away).

I think the guy is explaining that we used to use them for transport (Shock! Horror!). Pretty hard to believe now we have planes, helicopters, cars and motorised skates to use for travel... Well, that's what I think it's all about anyway... Well, I know what the horse on the stage is all about… I think the guy is explaining that we used to use them for transport (Shock! Horror!).

The movie "John Carter of Mars" is coming out next spring. We hope it will be faithful to the books in its portrayal of Martian technology, Flying Machines, and creatures, circa 1910.

It is amazing how shocked the public are to see a real, live horse. Many of them have literally never seen one in person. Too busy flying, I guess! I love the illustration of the flying drive-thru (fly-thru?), only in France would you be able to get a glass of wine in a drive-thru!
