Rethinking How We Travel Long Distances Without Flying

Flying feels like the only real way to cross a continent, but that's infrastructure lock-in, not physics. This episode digs into the alternatives that actually work today: Europe's night train resurgence, Mediterranean ferries, cargo ship passages under the twelve-passenger SOLAS limit, and vehicle relocation services like imoova and Transfercar. It also gets honest about the geography trap — why leaving Israel overland means border waits, unpredictable crossings, and a multi-decade fantasy of a Jerusalem-to-Europe rail line. Then it turns to airships: the Airlander 10 and LTA Research's 400-foot Pathfinder 1, and why the real near-term market is cargo, not passengers. If you've ever wondered whether there's a stranger, slower, more interesting way to get somewhere, this one's for you.
