  1. I know from close observation back when that these things didn't go very far before running out of fuel. Most of them ended up sinking. In the early days if crews (and passengers) abandoned ship, they ended up in the gulag for re-education as a face-saving measure. Ah, the worker's paradise.

  2. Isn't that the one they used in Jackie Chan's 'Rumble in the Bronx'?

  3. I saw an episode recently of Top Gear. Jeremy was chatting the Star in their affordable car who mentioned that he owned a hovercraft. Jeremy quickly pointed out that, wasn't it true, if you drive a hovercraft and you see an object anywhere in front of you that you're going to hit it? In my experience, yes. I like the name of thing though, the Crash-No. :)
