    The seven hurdles:
    1. Congo River
    2. Strait of Gibraltar
    3. Ferry in Siberia
    4. Highways throughout eastern Siberia
    5. 3 bridges over the Bering Strait, including roads over the Diomede islands
    6. Even more highways throughout Alaska until Fairbanks
    7. The Darien Gap

    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.

      If you test it on Google Maps, the route from Spain is several thousand Km longer than the route from Suez, but several hours faster, because the fastest highways are mostly on the Atlantic Coast and Europe. Besides, the point is to connect the major world cities, so you can't do that without the major cities in Europe.

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?

    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.
    Thank you for making this video!

      We could do it, but it wouldn't be profitable so nobody would do it. I'd love it if they built a magnetic vacuum train but currently that'd be very, very expensive.

      UB3RFR3NZY yeah that would more likely get build if the technology gets better or something like hyperloop ;) hyperloop around the world would be really great, cause its so fast and is still expensive, so very useful for long distances

      Ya Boy Andrew I took busses through the Khyber where traffic changes sides. The bus would stop at a painted line going at a right angle to the road and then proceed to switch sides. Very simply an intersection controlled by stop signs.
