Seascrapers
Horizontal Skyscrapers on Sea: Living on the seas isn't as hard as we think. Modify cruize ships a bit, to look architecturally creative like modern buildings, and ship them to mass-orders by future inhabitants on-line. | |
Now that Starlink is a thing, and that ships can catch fish, to keep all happy, and trade it for other things, in addition to all kind of
intellectual services of the passengers, in practice -- just make a web page to allow for massively ordering such said cruise ships,
that look like fancy horizontal
skyscrapers, and enjoy the life en route to a variety of places.
Ships that look like skyscrapers, just horizontal -- call them "Seascrapers."

Would this idea be a spin on the modern cruise ship, but
built as a condo? [link] |

Right. Though, doesn't look like a horizontal skyscraper... And registration
is not made for mass orders, like groupon. |

So if the form factor were skyscraper-shaped, perhaps an
elongated shoebox with lots of glass and structural
aluminum, would the inhabitants get seasick? And if the
structure sprang a leak and sank would you charge more
for the units with a reef view? |

Should be lighter than air. Now that would be a
spectacle. |

^Or a lot of quiet energy change.Still spectacular. |
