Mankind will always grap new gadgets - has done since the wheel was invented - and will continue when the 20XX will sit at the gate, ready for boarding..
Nothing can stop evolution..
Hopefully Boeing will go ahead and bring the 20xx into reality.. It doesn't really matter if it'll take them 5-10 or 15 years to develop the aircraft - the customers will want it..
Very exiting..!
