- Andrew Ryan - StigNordas, on 10/26/2009, -0/+9Kevin Costner approves
- badqat, on 10/26/2009, -0/+9Seems like there is a ton of difference in building an airfield on an artificial island and one that is a floating mass.
- FoxNewsIsEvil, on 10/26/2009, -1/+9"The problem is, is that..."
Can't tell you how much that bugs me. - inactive, on 10/26/2009, -2/+9With rising sea levels, building stuff that floats might be a good idea.
- homeworklarry, on 10/26/2009, -0/+6"But with building land becoming more expensive and more rare, it's an almost certain possibility."
What, exactly, is an almost certain possibility? Is it like a definitely unlikely certainty? My head hurts. - MacHarborGuy, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5The 21st century: mankind has colonized the last unexplored region on Earth; the ocean. As captain of the seaQuest and its crew, we are its guardians. For beneath the surface lies the future.
- malex, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?"
- MacHarborGuy, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5false time traveler! We have already been told that every day is free bacon day by a previous, more legitimate, time traveler!
- curiousnightowl, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4The idea of being on board a plane attempting to land on a runway in the sea fills me with a mixture of fear and absolute terror! Also imagine all the fish, looking up thinking they are about to be consumed by a huge monster bird!
- justinsullivan, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4If anyone thinks there is a shortage of land to develop, they have probably never been to Texas, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, or anywhere in the midwest.
- LokitheComplex, on 10/26/2009, -0/+4We need to create a new property bubble.
- Baryn, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3It's called an Aircraft Carrier. It's a mobile airstrip.

- JoeParanoid, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3I hear there's some land in Detroit going for really, really cheap.
- santiago1, on 10/26/2009, -1/+4 So.... with all the thousands of cities with millions of vacant houses thanks to the finance crunch, we still need to struggle to find places to build?
- LokitheComplex, on 10/26/2009, -0/+3Is it tax free?
- appleseed1234, on 10/26/2009, -1/+4We need Zeppelin Aircraft Carriers, with runways on top. It's the only solution.
- enozten, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2land, but no water or good soil
- Ziriux, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2I love this. shows how far we've come as humans in physics.
- LanMan66, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2...and then float an airport on it. ;)
- masterstghm, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2I don't think those overgrown parking lots and abandoned buildings in cities like Detroit are doing anyone but photographers a whole lot of good.
- rusty0101, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2And of course the only safe place to hide these beasts is in banks of clouds...
- Baryn, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2He means the French.
- EddiePotato, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1That is not a good sign.
- craggatt, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1Holy crap!!! seaQuest DSV. With Darwin the dolphin. That show was the mad note.
- immatellyouwhat, on 10/26/2009, -4/+5We actually built Atlantis in the future and brought it back 4000 years before our the time I am in now. Yes I am a time traveler, and there will be free bacon every friday... I promise you.
- jeremiahjw, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1And you thought living in NY was expensive...
Seriously though, if you didn't have to be a millionaire to live there, this would be an awesome place to go. - Arlene124, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1Interesting article
- securingsincity, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1The Ocean Walker: A Maeby Funke Film
"It's Deep" - TodoInTX, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1...or the Japanese.
- LogicallyGenius, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1not one person here is concerned about the sea life damage.
- RANDOM667, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1Actually the ancients built Atlantis over 10,000 years ago and left it setting on a planet in the Pegasus galaxy until we hijacked it and brought it back to earth. It is now parked in San Francisco Bay cloaked.
- KIERANMULLEN, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1Tail Spin?

- milwaukeesbeast, on 10/26/2009, -1/+1Yes because we havent figured out how to land planes on boats again ever since we beat those bloody tea drinking cheerios back in WW2
- compson13, on 10/26/2009, -1/+1i was surprised by how interesting this article was (perhaps that wasn't the glowing recommendation it was intended as)
- allisonV12, on 10/26/2009, -1/+1The rich will always need peace and security away from the prying eyes of the Paparazzi
Movies stars,politicians,criminal bankers can frolic and fornicate without being plastered on entertainment TV.
Or has Dubai filled that void?
Something about a western decadent city squatting in the heart of Islam doesn't seem to fly right,being that Mecca is just down the street.
Floating cities are the wave of the future.No unsightly urban decay ,no rioters or protesters mucking up the wheeling and dealing - vaccumpony, on 10/26/2009, -1/+0"ever since we beat those bloody tea drinking cheerios back in WW2"
O.K. points for sarcasm, but you are aware we (assuming your from Wisconsin) were allied with the British in WWII? Unless by "bloody tea drinking cheerios" you somehow mean the Germans? - DennisOhlson, on 10/26/2009, -3/+1yay underwater cities.
