Man Rescued in Hydropod- Nicole Chatham 6th period

This week I read a very odd article that talked about a man named Reza Baluchi and his adventure  inside a hydropod. Recently he had left Pompano Beach, Florida to try to run 1,000 miles across the Bermuda Triangle within his floating hydropod. This wasn't the first time that Beluchi tried to do this however, as back in 2014 he was also rescued about 70 nautical miles east of St. Augustine. Even though he was issued a warning letter not to make a second attempt, it clearly didn't stop him!

Analysis- This article is so crazy! I can't believe that someone would actually want to do this! I can relate this back in U.S. history to the transcontinental railroad. Although both the method of transportation in the article and the transportation created by the railroad are quite different, it shows that people are determined to travel great lengths to reach their dreams. Whether it's new opportunities, more land to settle or in Baluchi's case, a very odd goal, both types of transportation have greatly impacted many people's lives!

    I wonder if sometime in the future this hydro pod will be revolutionized in a form of mass transportation.
