Do we need a Vegas sphere in Melbourne?

It is friggin spectacular to see but nah, copycatting would be super lame. Our NIMBYs and the recreationally outraged would have a meltdown too about light pollution, power usage and our power grid, traffic probably, etc.

Traffic is my biggest concern. Drivers don't really need any more distractions.

Now a floating screen on the bay to watch movies on the beach. Sign me up!

Hell yeah. that screen looks incredible! I want to see the Shai Hulud traverse the sands of Arrakis on that screen. Or the Millennium Falcon make a successful jump into hyperspace and come out the other side in the middle of an epic space battle. Pew! Pew!

I want to scream DEATH with King Theoden on that screen.

Need? Absolutely not.

It'd be cool as shit though.
