They can sink all them for all I care.
S.S. United States still has the speed record for ships her size.

It took a loaded up cigarette boat/go-fast to break it.

There is a difference between ‘cruise ship’, and ‘ocean liner’.

He didn’t name names—but I am certain he was referring to Moller.

And the technology just was not present at the time to make the concept a reality.

Today however is a very different story.

JOBY: IS THE EVTOL INDUSTRY READY TO LAUNCH?

“Even the Motley Fool has JOBY listed in its three more interesting stocks for investment along with AMAZON and REDDIT?

Seriously?

Motley Fool: “No investment, regardless of how quality the underlying business, is totally impervious to the ups and downs of the market.”

JOBY not having any income and is still in the manufacturing and business development stages at the moment is on their list.”
