Hey boys! Wait just a mo' here.

No way, Jose.

This is the SF Bay Area not the middle of some desert. You need a new plan. The one you have is seemingly based/designed in that most ancient brain segment, i.e. the reptilian, which doesn't consider consequences.

I live in MV and my home is under the western flight path for landing and take off from NASA Ames.

So "testing" a no one in the cockpit plane over my home needs a big and inflexible "NO!" from me.

Google has gone a big step too far. MV city council needs to hold public hearings on this issue immediately.

NASA and Google can make all the agreements they want but the FAA makes the laws about aviation and if the FAA isn't onboard then this will never get off the ground.
