IMHO, will it get off the ground in a test flight? Yes. Is there enough money in the world you could pay me to be on that inaugural test flight? No!

shouldn't this be settled? question only asks if it will fly. nothing about having any kind of passengers. i have no money in the market...just curious.

I guess HubDub does not read the newspapers. It flew. They missed the plane. What's new.

HubDub is kind of losing the idea of prediction and being quick. FAIL.
