Popsicles and soda cans, too. I think it's time our Franco pals experienced the Monster brand of energy juice.

The postal service can deliver live birds, I fail to see why the intercontinental pneumatic epistolary service can't meet the same guarantee

Maybe a gun where the bullet is hollow and carries a message. Then we shoot it across the ocean.

I'm looking forward to dumping a bunch of beads down the intercontinental pneumatic tube. Wish I could see the look on the other end's face when they come spewing out at him, lol!

notZaar posted:Well we already have telegraph and fiber optic cables down there, this thread is for addressing the lack of physical transportation along the Atlantic ocean floor. We first laid telegraph cable between England and the United States in the loving 1850s but some jack rear end on one end kept pulsing a high current through it until it failed a couple months later. First time we communicated across the ocean in less than ten days though. Took twelve fuckin years to inspire people to lay another trans atlantic cable down. Mostly cause shorter length cables were being made and unloaded around Europe We couldn't do the same for phones because the bandwidth was too high. We got a satellite into orbit before the first trans oceanic telephone cable went down. Fiber optics paved the way. Alex bell invented fiber optics in the 1890s but there was nothing to really do with it for 60 years

At light speed an observer arrives at their destination instantaneously, almost as fast as a parcel delivered by pneumatic tube
