look at the pictures (artist renditions)... do you think this can ever be built?

It'll never work.

Could it be built? Yes. (physically possible)

Will it be? I doubt it.

I remember this thing from Popular Mechanics some time ago.

Not nearly as cool as the modular Navy ships which were in that magazine last year. Now those were freakin sweet.

I'd live in it.

Oh man... terrorists would see this as a HUGE BULLSEYE!
I doubt this would ever be built.

 

[DrumminBoy]

This just looks like a disaster waiting to happen...

 

[vshah]

[EyeMWing]

The airport is serviced exclusively by Dash-8's, apparently

Exactly. Slow moving, lots of people, a casino, no cops or Navy presence, just some sort of on-ship security force. Pirates would love it, there'd most likely be constant attacks on it especially if they allow up to 30k people from land a day come onto it, no way to screen that many people efficiently.

Would be nice to get away from the govt.

Deep Blue Sea?

 

[ragazzo]

nothing mother nature can't handle.

They already have cities on ships. They're called aircraft carriers. And they are very well defended.

 

[PHiuR]

let's get a raiding party and raid the ship.

They have been talking about this ship for a LONG time.. at least 2000, and maybe as far back as 1998 or so. I have been following it, and basically nothing has been happening since 2002ish...

It would be cool if it were built, but I don't think its going to be.
