Nicely done. I enjoyed it. One even had the airstrip on top I suggested elsewhere. Hurr! I also didn't know someone seriously considered giant nuclear airships

Nicely done. I enjoyed it. One even had the airstrip on top I suggested elsewhere. Hurr!
I also didn't know someone seriously considered giant nuclear airships? Did this come straight out of Hollywood, or was it the other way around?!
But there is something in these concepts I don't get. In the depictions of the 'promenade' there is always solid ground where you stand on, and then have to lean over to look down through angled windows. Why not make at least parts of the promenade fully transparent, like it is on some observation decks in tourist destinations? Also the cabins seem to be a waste of room. I think something between a capsule hotel and https://sleepbox.com/ https://sleepbox.com/ would suffice. In this mode of transport everything should be about maximizing the special viewing experience. The rest for lounge, bar, restaurant, salon, maybe selfcleaning toilets and washrooms. If tired? Sleep. Why would I need so much room for sleep? Given a travel time of some days to maybe two weeks? Just watch, watch, watch and relax :-)
