LOL. yeah that's about it ! It's a step above the pilot saying at 35,000 ft,, "Gee, folks, we forget to charge the battery this morning so we will be dropping in at an alternate field along the way."

In the late '40s, pilots probably scoffed at the idea of jet aircraft.

How can these things fly? They don't even have propellers! There are always those who deny progress, right, Mike?

Who needs wind, electric, or solar power when we have oil and coal?

I'm still waiting for tiny nuclear fusion reactors to power everything.
