Is that like Irvine and West Irvine?

If you like the story, see "Gunnm" (Battle Angel Alita) by Yukito Kishiro.

gunnm has been my all time favorite... theyre still coming out with new ones under gunnm "new order" or something... but not as cool as the initial story line

My mistake...looks like Elysium will be just offshore, no need for a rocket, we can just paddle...

[size=18pt]The incredible mile-long floating CITY - complete with schools, a hospital, parks and an airport for its 50,000 residents[/size]
The Freedom Ship is 25 storeys high and would feature a casino, an art gallery, a park and a shopping centre
The concept, designed by a Florida-based company would cost $10billion if was commissioned to be built

The vessel could house 50,000 people but it would contain additional space to hold an extra 30,000 visitors
The ship would constantly sail around the world - doing a full circuit every two years - but would be too large to enter any ports

Elysium is what they should rename Hidden Canyon to.
