Ever wondered why we aren’t living on the moon, using hover bikes or waging war in gigantic metal war balls? Well the scientists and modern thinkers of yesteryear wanted to make it a reality. Unfortunately for us some of these great ideas never happened. Take a look at some great covers from Popular Science or get an in-depth view at Modern Mechanix.

This has to be the best building side projection I’ve seen. By cleverly using the structure of the underlying building they created an amazing 3D spectacle that gives the impression the actual building is moving.
