     I also see great possibilities in the tourist industry, why go on a
     bus from Holland to Spain if you can fly in an airship wich has all
     the comforts of a modern shoppingmall?

     The shopping mall image kind of deflated it for me (I'd prefer a nice
     park <G>) but hey to each their own. I'm looking to curb my
     materialstic dogma now and in the coming years.
     
     I'd really like to ship more stuff under and overground. I
     particuarly like the Drexlerian nano-engineered tunnels described in
     "Engines of Creation". Maybe I'm just really sick of my commute!
     
     A question I have about the lumbering airships. Could they capably
     share the airspace with the prop and turbine powered craft already up
     there?
