Makes sense when you consider how high the shoulders of giants are

for the Myth where you tested the ancient Torpedo, your hydro-forming techinique was literally amazing, i was speechless, especially after watching your attempts to use a jackhammer to forge it. Brilliant Eureka-moments like that are why i continue to watch you show after a decade.

Was the idea of hydro-forming something that you discovered while researching the problem, or was this something you just pulled from your scientific bag of tricks? how long did it take to create the form, and how many mistakes did they have to edit out (be honest) before your shell-making started to work that perfectly?

What's all this about a Cable car system, now?

Richard Branson, you say? No cost to me and my fellow citizens, you say?

Mind blowing. Who would oversee it's upkeep and revenue in the upcoming years? are your fair city's citizens to be untaxed in the future, would there be a privatized firm run by Branson's people?

I live in Chicago, and (if I understand correctly) the Chicago Transit Authority is a private company that owns the buses and trains, and therefore earns the revenue from the fares. The city treats them like a utility company, offering them tax benefits and welfare programs in exchange for the service they provide the community.
