-"Ringworld" - is it possible to build settlements such as those seen in the movie Elysium?
This concept of a circular spacecraft was most recently seen in the movie Elysium. This isn't a movie review - but a review if this type of spacecraft is possible to build. The idea was brought up during 1920s, when two futurists by the names of Herman Potocnika and Wernher von Braun proposed the idea of donut-shaped space stations that could circulate the Earth. The only space station that man has ever created is the International Space Station. Will it be possible to build space stations when the average citizen could live on the space craft or even go on a trip into space? Someday, maybe within the next century the concept that the movie Elysium had in these ring shaped ships will become a reality. In 2013, the experts are only brainstorming and dreaming of beginning such a complex project.

-A plane that can carry trains?
By 2050, could we see a plane that can pick up several trains of people and carry them to their destination? A group of students from University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art in the UK have devised Horizon, a system in which planes would lift and drop moving railway carriage from and onto the ground. This could make transportation of people a lot quicker.
In a little over 30 years from now, this group imagines a person that wants to travel a long distance will start off in their neighborhood "Sky Station" where their luggage will be taken away from them. The person will then go through security and board one of these trains that can be picked up by aircraft. Once arriving at the destination, the plane attaches accordingly near the ground where it could let the passengers off these train cars.
