    But what side of the road would we drive on?
  • @hihellohi5714
    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
  • If I’m being honest, if I had the money and time, I’d honestly totally drive that for the experience!

    I loved how the ending is like: "Stop making things even difficult, just take a plane"

    Imagine going on foot from South Africa to Argentina. At 100 km every week, it would take 520 weeks or 10 years. The memories one would make on the way would be transformational!

    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.

    It's insane that a project this big is only 38% of the US defense budget!

    This is the definition of "the trip is the friends we made along the way".

    Scientist say that if you built a road around the entire earth, it would be really long

    I love learning about the world and the earth and countries because every now and then you get a name that just gives you the goosebumps
  • @hanscapon222
    imagine how many clothes you’d need to pack for the different climates if you did this whole trip

    "Connecting entire earth with road system" Poor Australia crying in the background
