The noise from the planes taking off and landing every 5mins on the roof would do my nut in
Every 5 minutes? Surely, it'd be once a week or something.That picture doesn't look right - why would you have so many planes on there unless they're private and owned by residents.

k knows its a concept at the moment but the article says.... "The so-called Freedom Ship would also have room for another 30,000 daily visitors, 20,000 crew and 10,000 overnight guests".

Well the article says it'll have a 'fleet' of commuter aircraft on board. Add in a few from other operators and there you go.That picture doesn't look right - why would you have so many planes on there unless they're private and owned by residents.
I'd love to know why they're digging that up again, I remember looking at the project in the late 1990s and thinking it was an interesting idea but was unlikely to ever get off the ground.
There used to be a site somewhere where a number of potential investors published all the garbage mailed out by the bloke behind the scheme. He seems to have gone quiet over the last 10 years but I guess reguritating the same rubbish excuses only works for so long lol
Still, an interesting technical study at least.

Firstly I cant believe that it will ever happen.
Secondly if I had that amount of spare cash burning a hole in my pocket, I'd buy myself a modest little boat and explore the world without having to spend time in the company of 50,000 other people.
I look at those pictures and I struggle to think of a more ghastly way of spending my time and money.

Aside from the political, physical and infrastructure issues who on earth would want to live on such a thing?Secondly if I had that amount of spare cash burning a hole in my pocket, I'd buy myself a modest little boat and explore the world without having to spend time in the company of 50,000 other people.
