I have an inside contact right at the top, send you money order to me and I will guarantee that you are moved to the head of the boarding list on the Giant Space Station.

I've seen these pie-in-the-sky leviathan ship schemes before. I always wonder...how does any nautical architect compensate for the quite narrow beam to LOA ratio. How would these vessels stand steep breaking waves or even deep trough swells when they are so damn long and narrow...and yet purported to require relatively shallow draft? I keep thinking of a rather large M/V Edmund Fitzgerald. Snap!! One would think these vessels would need such deep drafts as to be incomprehensible.
