FUTURE IS NOW: Flying Submarines!

When I sit down to write for SuperForest, I usually ask myself three questions about the subject in mind: 1) Is it sustainable? 2) Is it good for the planet?  3) Is it thought-provoking or uplifting?

But sometimes, just sometimes, I’m seduced by things that are simply cool.  Maybe  because I wanted to be the Submariner as a child…

Maybe it’s simply because I’m a guy and guys like toys.   Or maybe it’s because having your own fighter jet submarine is just super duper cool.  And I dare you to watch this and tell me otherwise.

 

 It’s called the Deep Flight Super Falcon, it’s build by Hawkes Ocean Technologies, and it can be seen on their website www.deepflight.com. The sub is capable of diving 1500 ft, staying down for 5 hours and traveling at 6 knots.  It’s designed to be more agile than any creature in the ocean.

So it costs over a million dollar.  So it’s not sustainable or practical in any way. But they say that sucker can do barrel rolls with dolphins?  Me want one NOW!
