Popular Mechanics 1932 Rocket Ship

From the May 1932 Popular Mechanics

I like the giant dials and the paper plotter.

This is great and it made me think of those homes of the future that they
used to show in the fifties. Very little of it came true either.

Seems like we need to revisit those articles once in awhile to see what did come to be. Look at all the things we do now and take for granted that 20 years ago would have sounded ridiculous.

Crazy. I love it!

I thought it was too bad the Concorde was grounded. I realize the old planes were probably too old, but why didn't someone build replacements? Maybe they realized they were an accident waiting to happen, so they waited for it and grounded the fleet when it happened.

15 minutes from Paris to Chicago!

Little did they know about security, checking baggage, flight delays and holding patterns for whatever reason. 15 minutes.....

If they'd written about that part, nobody would have believed it would ever come to be, would they?
