That is so amazing! The second half really takes me back to my last Chicago to Emeryville trip. But I was never so brave to do coast-to-coast. My neck would be soooo sore by the end.

It's really cool to see how many new inventions they needed to adapt it for operating in Ghana. Honestly wish we could make something like that work here.

Battery powered flights from Washington DC to LA. No longer a pipe dream?

Hopefully using this for transcontinent flight will be the one use. Since we should be able to build electric high speed rail everywhere that we travel over land.

There’s too much tourism

Also the rooms are gonna be $300/night which is insane by my standards but I guess makes sense for a luxury hotel.

That is absolutely amazing. And I think they said they've been using it for 10 years already!!! That is just the coolest thing ever. Can't wait to finish the whole video. I love Kirsten Dirksen.

Flight free travel from US to French streets

Oh yeah, that's a bit too intense for me. I'm just trying to get the word out wherever I can lol.

Not sure exactly what the lemmy.world thing means, but yes this was me and my partner! Quebec was great!

I definitely preferred Montreal to New Orleans. Felt far more European (like having a decent Metro).

lol, it's more a statement about us (and I'd guess the average US resident) than about them.

This sounds like a lovely travelog: New Zealand to Spain by train

Can a flight be ok to do for "holidays"?

Haha, no I flew last in 2019. Did a 6 month tour in the US in 2021 and have just been doing more local tours or renting bikes since then. I'm planning on saving up and quitting work for a 3+ month journey around Europe in 5 years or so. That's the plan at least, we'll see whether life says otherwise ;)
