Imagine it, lunch on the moon. Dinner on Mars.Paris for a cup of real French Vanilla. The world and beyond would be at your fingertips.
I know that I could get up in orbit really fast; I have seen the TV shows. In mere minutes I could be orbiting the Earth, looking for the perfect parking spot by one of any thousands of malls. The daily commute would be a non-issue, with highway traffic being a mere spot down below.
I do have to say that parking garages would be a bit tricky to navigate, unless they have an open top level.Then if it was raining that could be a bit tricky to arrive neat and dry. However, if it was a transporter equipped shuttle I could just beam from the parking spot to the office, no problem.
As a matter of fact, if it was transporter equipped there could be days that I could use the shuttlecraft without it ever leaving the garage.
If it wasn’t transporter equipped then it would be cool if it had blasters of some kind.That way, in a pinch, I could always make a place to park it. Very handy for those crowded days and event parking.
But a personal shuttlecraft would not be just for work. It is, after all, the original ATV (All Terra Vehicle). A trip to the mountains would be a pleasure. It would work great for hunting trips as well (now this is where a blaster equipped model would shine).
If I had one with the skids for landing I could take it skiing – imagine the air time on a ramp that would be possible with the engines! Of course, along with these outdoors uses a camo paint job would be logical, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
Imagine tailgating with a shutttlecraft. You could have the whole crew along, and if it is equipped with a food synthesizer you would have an endless supply of fresh beer and pizza. You would be the hit. In the case that you did not have a food synthesizer and wanted to barbeque fast, well, again those blasters would be handy. Just be careful not to barbeque everything.
Yes, if only I had a shuttlecraft I would be, well, a nerd with a shuttlecraft. But to be honest that sounds good to me. Now, where shall I go today?
Aloha from the Beach, greg
