Just started this from a conversation in another thread. Trying to keep things on topic.

chumpanzie mentioned future air travel could be in airships. So what does everyone else think the future of travel could be?

Something like this http://gizmodo.com/5381365/beautiful-concept-airship-looks-85-years-into-the-future

Or maybe we would move more to sea transport or even sea cities! http://archtopia.com/2010/01/06/utopian-sea-cities-of-the-future-assembled-by-robots/


Lets see what you guys and gals think the future of travel will be!

Goodness knows!

I've seen lots of talk of 'floating hotels' in the past, but I think we're some way off anything like that being a reality.

I mentioned one of the concepts on my blog, here:

Seemed a bit flawed, really.

Does seem a very odd shape for something that will be floating around.

The sea faring ones do seem much more plausible as really they are only a cruise ship of mega proportions.

I hope the space travel thread becomes even larger in the future! Anyone know what happened to those folks who bought TWA tickets...to the moon in the 1970s? I think they were supposed to be used by 1999.

I'm sure if I would want to go into space ... too many places to see on earth to fill a lifetime.

I have come across this blog which is promoting a "Space Experience" which they say is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience true weightlessness. Take a look and see what you think

I know the person who runs this blog. He's a great guy called Eduardo. I think he may have an account on here. I'll drop him a note and see if he wants to comment. Smile

I would like to hear more about this. The thought of weightlessness appeals to me. Wink

I also have this crazy idea that maybe in the future, worm holes could be a new way or would be a regular way of traveling in another planet's vacation destinations. Maybe we'll be using the architecture of UFO's as flying saucers.

I like traveling. Not so much for the fun - though it was nice, I am not really interested in traveling for fun but I am also interested to see the natural beautiful senairy which is presented by God only for us.In future i want to go to Safari to see the different amazing places.
