    4. Highways throughout eastern Siberia

    Perhaps tunnels in some of these spots would be more feasible? Generally, tunnels are more expensive than bridges, but when talking about crossing open ocean where weather and waves need to be accounted for, perhaps Chunnel-like crossings would end up being safer and more practical.

    About a bridge between Australia and Papua New Guinea: there is actually a group of islands, called the Torres Strait Islands, located in the Torres Strait between the northern tip of Australia and the southern part of Papua New Guinea. These islands are of decent size and the Strait is pretty shallow. I would say that a set of bridges linking the north of Australia to the south of Papua New Guinea through the Torres Strait Islands would be just as feasible (perhaps even more so) than the set of bridges between Russia and Alaska.

With a huge machine but the elements are found on the earth moon or mars but this is where humans start already to be away from earth. And i don't have a depression point of vue, i am just realistic. And i think that going away from earth is not depressive. it's like a move, but at a bigger scale making us able to discover new things and understand better the universe. i talk from billion of years from now, but we will more probably all be dead and the natural selection will make better being. I can prove that we are not the best being already because you don't agree with me and i don't agree with you.

    I met my wife in Vietnam in mid 1990's and I lived in the US. While we were waiting for the legal paperwork to be processed in order to bring her here, I would have to fly to Vietnam to visit her. But due to the air plane crashes going on during those years, I always had a fantasy of my own: I wished that there was a road long enough for me to drive from the US to Vietnam so I could visit my wife.
    I knew it was a crazy fantasy because I knew having a road to connect from the US all the way to Asia and ultimately to Vietnam, the destination I wanted to reach, could only be deemed possible in my dreams. So I kept it to myself the whole time. When I saw the title of this video I quickly remember of the 30 year old fantasy about driving all the way from the US to Vietnam just to visit my wife, I've got to see it. After watching it, it proves that I was actually crazy to think about driving from the US to Vietnam. Even today's technology cannot accomplish such crazy task let alone it was 30 years ago.
    I must admit that I was crazy.

One night as the priest was praying he asked God to build a bridge fro San Francisco to Hawaii. God responded that it was an impossible task because of the depth of the ocean and the distance. The priest felt disappointed thought about it and then asked God well I know that the bridge is a Big task then can I ask you to help me at least to understand women. After a few minutes of silence God replied oh by the way about that bridge 2 or 4 lanes?
