Flying Cars Coming Soon
This week inventor Woody Norris will receive America�s top prize for invention. It�s called the Lemelson-MIT award -- a half-million dollar cash prize to honor his life�s work, which includes a brand new personal flying machine called the AirScooter (it goes on sale later this year at $50K per scooter).
The AirScooter can fly for 2 hours at 55 mph, and go up to 10,000 feet above sea level. This is not a joke - go and read the CBS News story and how NASA's �The Highway in the Sky," a computer system designed to let millions of people fly in their very own vehicles, will help make this a reality sooner than you think.
