It's amusing when people think that having been somewhere, or done something, are prerequisites to knowing about them. I have never been a sheep, or an eel, but I have some knowledge about what it's like to be a sheep or an eel. I also know what they taste like which is not what sheep or eels would know. <Prep yourself... Hes going to ask if you've ever scuba dived.> It normally adds information to actually experience things, but one can know a lot without physical presence. As stereoscopic high resolution Cyberspace is improved, it will increasingly add nothing visually to go somewhere. Eyes are at the ends of nerve fibres. There would be nothing lost to stretch those nerve fibres 20,000 kilometres, use gigabit fibre instead of nerves and use cameras instead of eyes. It would not be possible to see the difference if done right. Same with sound. Having pilots actually on board aircraft is not essential. Predator drones are flown by USA military from around the world. Airliners could be flown the same way, if not done by autopilots. Mqurice
