Have you heard? The Oasis of the Seas is now booking. This magnificent ship, managed by Royal Caribbean, is currently the largest cruise liner in existence. This 220,000 ton ship can support over 5,000 passengers during a voyage. Complete with an on board mall, two rock climbing walls, full spa and gym, and TWO ice rinks, the Oasis is truly the pinnacle of a floating city. Here’s a 3D image of the port of the ship. See the brand new AquaTheatre?

The ship is actually built, I just like this rendition better…

So, why would I care about this particular ship? Seeing the images of this vast behemoth immediately brought images of the Stargate Atlantis to my head. As most of the Stargate fans SHOULD know, Atlantis was actually a floating city, with the capacity to fly through space, of course. This city was powered by ancient technology and capable of sustaining human life for centuries.  Mankind has once again outdown themselves, in my opinion. So, I propose the future is now.  Should the world be covered in water, as it appears to be doing with global warming, the icecaps melting, and whatnot, then we are prepared.  I say, instead of spending billions of dollars on preventing global warming, we should be putting more money into researching technologies such as self-sustaining floating cities, preparing for the inevitable.  The future is now, we can’t stop the earth from doing what she is going to do. Instead, let us embrace it and work together in harmony and not against each other in war.

Our planet is changing. There is no denying that. But, I think the human race is rather arrogant to think there is anything we can do to prevent it. We should humbly accept the awesome power of our planet. Did you know that there are animals that can sense when a volcano is going to errupt? These animals will instinctively run to higher ground and caves to protect themselves from these eruptions. Not once in over hundreds of years, has the population of these animals dwindled. THAT’S harmony.
