Human air transport has beenwith us for centuries— in fact since time immemorial. As in the classical case it is really quite modern in its conception.

There is a partially retractable landing gear. Although there are no seats, there is good leg room and the passenger has his air ticket. Take-off was easy. The flight, being slow, takes anything up to nine months. The landing will be laborious and its successful completion will be accompanied by a fanfare of joyous publicity on the part of the parent company together with the usual noisy complaint from the passenger. Emergency oxygen is occasionally administered.
