How safe are these motored gizmos for the average shmoe? How long would the takeoff and landing space have to be? Prolly kills the practicality for most ppl. He says even kids can fly one of 'em. Lots lack windshields.

Fixed wing aircraft love to fly, but the transition between the air and the ground is awkward to say the least. You should have some flight time before going it on your own. IIRC, it takes a minimum of 40 hours flight time to get a basic fixed wing license, 20 of which is with an instructor.
Probably not too bad except for the helicopter and the Nano thing. Helicopters don't like to fly and that Nano thing looks very unstable and being electric, borders on insanity.
Helicopters are very different than fixed wing aircraft. If you so much as *think* wrong while piloting a helicopter, you'll probably end up in an unrecoverable attitude. It's been long enough that I doubt I could do it anymore. Fixed wing, no problem.
Helicopter Pilots are Different
The thing is, helicopters are different from airplanes.
An airplane by its nature wants to fly and, if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly.
A helicopter does not want to fly.
It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other,
and if there is any disturbance in the delicate balance, the helicopter stops flying, immediately and disastrously.
There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter.
This is why a helicopter pilot is so different from being from an airplane pilot,
and why in general, airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant extroverts,
and helicopter pilots are brooders, introspective anticipators of trouble.
They know if anything bad has not happened, it is about to.

When the planes hit the Twin Towers all aircraft across the country were grounded.
Some guy who was working with venemous snakes in Florida was bitten and they had a hard time getting him to hospital for treatment.
But it seems to me that they would have anti-venom on hand for just this type of scenario. :-/

Even as a friend with a TV called to tell me one of the towers was hit I knew another fix was in :[

Everything was in a state of confusion since they were conducting war games when the planes hit the Twin Towers. ;)

Has anybody ever heard of an "active" anything else besides a shooter? Maybe we should call prostiticians who are talking "active prevaricators"? And if they finally shut up, "active larcenists"?
Newsreaders: "active propagandists". Fun with active.
While we're on the subject (sort of), why are Jews the only people who ever say something "smacks" of something? I HATE that usage. Where did that come from?
