:wow:

A giant nuclear-powered ‘flying hotel’, complete with a gym and swimming pool is set to carry 5,000 passengers in unparalleled luxury.

A new CGI video details how the AI-piloted Sky Cruise plans to remain airborne for months at a time, while also docking to take on new passengers, or to drop off anyone board.

The futuristic hybrid between a plane and hotel – which has 20 engines powered by nuclear fusion – is designed never to land.

the design doesn't seem inherently unsafe to me or anything but i'll believe it when i see it being built

edit: here's the full original video

I was thinking the same sounds like a giant target for s terrorists attack.
true, i wonder how you'd protect the powerplant from that or some catastrophic accident. can't exactly take one of those concrete/rebar dome that we use for reactors and stick it in the sky haha.

there also seems to be no need since aerial refueling is a thing, that dupes the major advantage that nuclear provides

Yea...part of the allure of 5 star hotels is being able to visit nice places. Step out the hotel and head to a dope restaurant, dinner, enjoy the view. I'm sure if this (unlikely) hotel gets built it'll have built-in restaurants and shyt but...who wants to be flying nonstop...going nowhere? I don't get how this beats going to Dubai or Nice or LA/NY or wherever ese.
