The Aircruise Flying Hotel Could Turn Us All Into Saggos

You guys all know that Uranus in Aries (from June!) is going to be a significant phase of oh-my-godding-w.t.f. style new invention, don’t you?  I still think personal jetpacks are going be big. But in the meantime, this Airspace flying hotel thing looks awesome enough to turn even the most agoraphobic type into a raving Saggo.

You know how Saggos are always happiest setting off from some trip or another.

Designed by SeymourPowell, it will float graciously above the earth but not too high and look like a huge balloon. It goes slow & you can open the windows to get some fresh breeze. It’s totally carbon-friendly. No word yet on $ for what a journey on this thing would cost but how cool, yes?

    Ive always wondered about travel like this, love the idea. My fantasy is to just float high enough above the rotating earth that you are still, but the earth moves below, so when you land your in Rio or something. uranus in aries is not just a time of breakthrough invention, but the return of Camelot.

    Oh yes…this is for me for sure. Beats slow moving fan palms, tropical heat and screeching cockatoos. You wouldn’t even need to peel me grape on this ride. Have always dreamed of jet packs…..particularly becasue I’m crap at following street signs and always get parking tickets…a jet pack would be perfect.

    When standing anywhere with a view I can almost taste the air on take off… this ship is simply sublime.

    LOVE it, but they would surely be an air traffic controller’s worst nightmare?!

    I’m Saggo … and getting too practical-minded as I get older. *sigh*

    One of the happiest journeys of my life coincidentally began on a Sagg Moon….wandering around Italy one summer, soaking up the Art and the ambiance.

    I am on board provided there is a hotel room that looks less monochromatic and more.. how shall I say? Earthy? That room does appeal to my libran moon and I do like the colour (very greco-roman), but it needs a few plants or something. A nice pea green bedspread with some flowers arranged Ikebana style around the room maybe. Perhaps the view would make up for that, I’m not entirely sure. Regardless, I would probably book a trip on it anyway as it reminds me of airships and I am a huge fan of airships. Plus, riding in a giant balloon? Yes, please! Oh, I hope I could fit that in my budget! What a dream come true. I am slightly concerned that it may hit a bird, but I imagine birds are too smart to be hit by such a large and slow moving thing. Surely there is enough time for them to get away, no? Is my virgo showing again? Oh, dear.

    Did you see the vibrators Seymour & Powell designed, commissioned by Durex.
    As sleek as the AirShip.

      ummm, no, but i did see a tourism ad for Adelaide last night on tele, there was a bit of simulated sex in it, very naughty and appealing for us stressed out uptight Sydney types :)

        What a ridiculous ad campaign. Why would anyone in sydney need to go to adelaide for a root?

          Haven’t seen it yet, but Aboriginals say that Adders is the root chakra
          of Oz, Darwin being the crown.
          This is strange as it is the most sexless place i have ever lived, total anaphrodisiac!
          The least sexy peeps, NO IDEA, no sensuality whatsoever, however Sidders IS very
          sexy.

          YES< Fire Trine but i'd have bubbly instead unless it was Bombay Sapphire,
          haha now i'm talking & wishing :-)

            OOO, now i get the promo of Adders: there are more adult sex shops
            brothels & escorts here per capita of population than anywhere is OZ!
            The city of wine women & song.
            (more musicians than tennis players as well)

    Mmm, cumulus nimbus and gin and tonic…

      Good one FireTrine :)

      I’m a nimbus girl myself.

      ‘Fraid that me and alcohol would not be a good mix high up though as looking at that pic I might go over the edge.

      Don’t think that’s what alcohol’s “floating on a cloud” feel had in mind…

      Besides, being an Aries and that edge, just too daring for me. Don’t think I could trust myself. I get nervous just looking at the picture!

      Spoze though could have cocktail hour in a parchute pack..You know, just in case…hehe

    And just like the yacht video Rock a Billy Babe provided, love the boat….Love the lounges on the lower deck but there’s that edge again.

    Edges just make me feel giddy all over in a nerve wracking way…

      And when I’d first looked at this pic, thought it was a person standing in the middle of a huge luggage type conveyor thing.

      Yes, I have quit drinking… :shock:

      1. Pegasus’s avatar

        Well, Sweetie, i thought the same thing, that it was a person!
        Of course, i love it….it moves & floats………in the sky, my favourite place to be,
        looking down on the planet & moving foreward.

    I’d go on it if they added soft things such as cushions or smth. Looks a lil ‘hard’. Can’t lounge around on furniture hard surfaces, not properly for me anyway. And I agree with Lesly, needs some greenery!
