Very cool, although I could do without the music.

I guess that's one drawback to hacking on software instead of hardware: you can't make a cool video your family and friends could watch about coding modular interpreters in Haskell with monads. :/

This would certainly enhance this startup idea:

I find it incredible that a group presumably at the cutting edge of creativity is incapable of recognizing that this video reveals the extraordinary possibility of being a bird with a human brain and flying without the danger of dying. Where is your imagination, up your keyboard?

The military uses them and they use real pilots (who have gone through full pilot training) to fly them.

I've flown a real plane. Boring after 2 minutes. Just like that video.

yes, but an unmanned plane must be more fun since you can do crazy things without fear of death:)

i've been driving for 5 years and i still love it. Somehow i find what you said unbelievable. Then again most pilots are alcoholics so there might be some truth to what you said.

Spectacular idea. Just a bit late to get one for this Christmas.
