Such a huge birdshot. You can hunt a huge flock of birds with this.

I wonder how this dude came up with a yearly running cost of $1bn for the Canal Istanbul comparing with the Panama Canal. Panama Canal is a stepped canal with elevation difference between two ends and ships have to get in locks to be raised and pulled along by locomotives. This requires...

Any proof of what you claim or just bullshit as usual?

Basic designs, we need to get beyond these.

Goaty tales.

Hulki Cevizoglu is talking. https://video.haber7.com/video-galeri/184888-hulki-cevizoglundan-muhalefeti-cildirtacak-cikis-kanal-istanbula-evet-diyen-bir-ataturkcuyum

I hope they get ambitious results within an ambitious timeframe. We have means to make other thing but we don't have the luxury to waste time. We don't need schools especially anymore. We have TV and the Internet.

Like how, blue?

No one will allow damage to Turkey. There is always risk in every move we make but this is a very tolerable risk.

I see that you are not convinced, then, do you take bribes? :sneaky: It is count down to the tenders, its happening this year. If tenders don't turn up the required interest then a slow paced central budget funding could be applicable.

It depends on what the investor want. If they are OK to hold the lease for a longer time and get the money from the Canal alone then no guaranties is an option. If there is a lack of investor interest in the project then the investors may want the return on investment in a shorter time in which...

Minister related to Canal Istanbul made some statements. Construction will take 6 years. Current calculations show $600-700mn revenue per year. Imagine you are sitting at an underground restaurant on the sides of Canal Istanbul and watching the marine life swimming through the passage as you...

You can question every investment made with that same argument, like the Istanbul Airport. That free passage called the Bosporus is a free flow of water with lots of dangers for the ships and the city. These dangers can be reflected in to precautions taken which can slow down the traffic...

You worry about yourself, a waterway is a natural resource. If Dutch didn't have the canals they would have wasted their utility, I have sailed through them. If you are not utilizing what your geography is offering you, you are not the master of that land but a mere guardian. There are billions...

As the entrepreneur Elon Musk already put it "if you are not failing you are not innovating enough". They will make hundreds of tests, I bet they will get there before too long.

A glimpse of what a fully developed version of this design should look like, in a civilian model. This is Transcend Air's VY400 https://transcend.aero/

I want to see these rockets blowing up in the air.

That's because you overlook the realities and can not wrap your head around the fact that Turks have been miserable guardians of a homeland full of natural resources. Making Canal Istanbul is another means that will make good use of geographic advantages and will bring riches to the nation. We...

Turkish hegemony/sovereignty on Turkish land. We held the land but we underutilized it like we didn't own it.

We should do everything but we can't squeeze too many things in a short time as it will cause some alarm bells to ring. The main thing we can do is to conduct as many research projects as we possibly can and strengthen our industry base. The ability to make many things locally is more valuable...
