Supersonic transport is cool, but what I'd kind of like to see would be a return to big, slow luxury transport. Airships might be cool, though of course you don't get a lot of payload for the overall size of the thing. But my parents have been going on cruises over the past few years, and they really like the convenience of going somewhere new every day or two without having to switch rooms or spend time in a cramped airplane. The problem, though, is that cruise ships only go to ports. Wouldn't it be neat to board some sort of air vehicle in, say, Boston and fly across the Atlantic, and then go anywhere in Europe? Or Africa? Or fly across the US and get to stop over at neat places over the course of a week?
