Would you book a trip on Sky Cruise?

Able to accommodate up to 5,000 people. Would have similar amenities as a cruise ship with theaters, swimming pool, casino, and guest rooms. A nuclear reactor would power 20 electric engines keeping the aircraft in the air for several years. And the aircraft be operated by AI.

The video in the attached article is pretty cool.

Interested, or naw?

Nope. I have a severe fear of heights, so planes -- especially that nightmarish monstrosity -- are a no-go.

Have never been on a cruise, but isn’t part of the fun going to the different ports and cities?

This some old Lando Calrissian ********. Hard pass.

I don't know if I'd do a full week but I would definitely go for a 3-4 day trip.

Yes and no. There is plenty to do on a cruise ship, but the ports and excursions are an added bonus. They also cost a **** ton more than the basic cruise.

Because the only way to reach this is by plane, technically, you could get off anywhere that was below you. You'd have to somehow catch back up to it, though, to get back on. I suppose the cruise plane could just do a wide circle above possible destinations.

Now when they can make it cheap and safe to stay in space then I might consider that.

Interesting. I don’t think I would want a balcony room or try to use the climbing wall.

What can go wrong?

Didn't Howard Hughes build that thing a long time ago?
