A Micro Spacecraft to Get You -- and Nothing Else -- Into Space

Copenhagen Suborbitals is a Danish start-up company trying to make space travel affordable, assuming that you have no desire for creature comforts. Basically you're squished into a tiny nose cone and shot into the upper atmosphere. Sort of like when you were a kid and you put your brother's pet hamster into a model rocket and launched it.

Phil,

Anti-grav "pressurized suits keep the blood in your head. As well as breathing training which equates to grunt breathing to force even more blood into the head will negate the passing out.
Also, do you really think someone who is not given a Class A physical will be allowed to fly. Hell, Richard Garriott just went to the space station. Pilots for jets in the military are given the same training and physicals.

Next time read a book other than Gayboy.

Max Brookks' definitive Zombie Survival Guide also discusses the advantages of bikes- along with what's already noted, they are easier to repair than a car, and if you have to, you can carry them over/around obstacles. I suspect they don't get used much in zombie movies because it IS hard to look cool riding one.

Terrible Idea about the armor. Unless it's super lightweight. During an apocalypse, every ounce you carry has to be counted. Same thing applies to people who go hunting in the mountains or any rough terrain. They literally weigh energy bars and make everything perfectly efficient in their backpacks.
