My needs are small now. One day it hit me while watching Star
   Trek:TNG during the Dr. Who-is-gone-forever-era. Would _I_ trust
   a force field? What about the tin-foil shells of today's
   beyond-atmosphere craft? Or what about a ship? Would I go across
   the ocean on a large boat? And all of these were "probably not".
   That's me though. I'd likely do the vomit-comet and I'd gladly
   see the "thin blue line". But I'm not much for long car rides
   either if I can help it. So, for me, I'd be happy to see someone
   else doing it live on TV. I was always a little envious of the
   moon-landing era. It's before my time. == I think it's the speed
   for me. I'd gladly go through a portal and get demolecularized
   if it means I didn't have experience the long travel time. I
   once read a book that involved portal travel that you had to
   keep your eyes closed. I don't remember who wrote it. Anyway, in
   this story, if you opened your eyes while in transit, you would
   EXPERIENCE the travel time and _age_ horrendously and painfully
   quickly. Of course, one boy HAD to open his eyes and came out
   the other side an old man, much to the horror of his family. ==
   5.2 MB/s is it's top speed on a clear day. 5.2MB/S - my DSL is
   10Mb/s with 0.768MB/S upload speed on a good day. So I would
   DEFINITELY be on Facebook and uploading videos to youtube and
   stuff smile emoticon [probably making 100s of Vines though -
   that's my favorite way to share little things] ==
