    Number 7 is gonna be a real question one day. Wonder whether it’ll be pneumatic tubes or matter transporters that gets there first?

      Nah, small airplanes are relatively easy to build. Even if we eventually stop large-scale production there’ll always be the occasional hobbiest putting a one-seater together.

          Who built the last steam locomotive?

          As long as there are old men there will always be steam trains. They always run on dedicated lines between the hours of 9:15 a.m. And 10:02 a.m. every 5th Thursday unless they cannot be bothered or it’s raining.
