The Aircruise - The future of luxurious and amazing sky hotels. - General

Agreed on that glass floor. Hell, even going near the windows would make me feel funny.

They'd need some fucking good pilots. It'll tip over!

Does look pretty cool, but I'm afraid of heights.

Your fucked if you hit turbulence.

Re the glass floor, go to Blackpool Tower if you ever get the chance. It has a glass floor at the very top that can apparently hold two elephants. People jump up and down on it and shit.

I see the next generation of terrorism coming. And the TSA is gonna be all over this shit. Body scanners to enter and leave your room, likely. I don't want to be molested to get ice.

You know, this could be done without any of this lifting gas. Decades ago Buckminster Fuller calculated that a geodesic dome of a certain size would lift up into the air because the air inside would be lighter than the dome itself, that, along with the new nanotech materials that are being developed, could created entire "aircruises" like this that are lifted by nothing but air and the waste heat of the occupants.

This looks really cool, now if only I had the money to book a room.

Imagine if you made one of these into a battleship, it would look cool as hell. But be really unconventional.

I'm going to save start money and invest in it a little. Then save up more to actually go on it.

Wait, they're saying that just about 5 years from now is going to bet he turning point of the future? In that case, I can't wait for maybe 20 years from now. :dance:

Nope, I don't see it happening... Better off anchoring it in place as a thousand foot in the air restaurant

[QUOTE=TheTalon;26320878]Nope, I don't see it happening... Better off anchoring it in place as a thousand foot in the air restaurant[/QUOTE] That's the first step to getting it to happen, is it not?

that's pretty damn cool.

I'll take 20.
