When I was a little girl I had this grand idea to build a waterslide that would be attached to the moon and the earth. You could go up to the moon in a spaceship and ride the waterslide all the way down to your home country, or you could choose to stop at various space ports along the way.
Because I was interested in the idea of traveling through space, and because I was obviously not concerned with the reality of physics and gravity, I think that a project with an unlimited fund would have to take on a similar disregard for the rules. Something really wild would be to terraform a planet such as mars. I would take over the whole planet to set up an animation and film arts studio just for me and the artists that I would choose to work with. There, on mars, we could work to shoot and animate a film that would be about the earth, reflecting all the problems and challenges that we face today. The studio would have the most powerful still and video cameras in the world, as well as the most expensive animation and editing software. It would be one of those pieces of video that the whole world watches, like the moon landings, and hopefully it would have a powerful effect on large corporations and make them realize that they are killing the planet. The film would offer new and inventive ways of possibly redesigning society so that there would be no religion, as well as harnessing the energy from surrounding bodies in the galaxy to provide enough energy to solve problems of consumption.
Back to the waterslide idea, the tunnel would be made of a transparent material so you could see space zooming by as you made your way down to earth. The tunnel would be full of spins, turns and loops. The water would be maintained at the perfect temperature and there would be those little glow in the dark stars stickers on the inside, too.
