> This from her seemed dangerously like fraud

Pretty heavy statement. Which part is the fraud? The timeline or the ability?

I think it's fair to say far-fetched, but the label fraud or even "sounding like fraud" sounds too heavy.

Maybe that the system requires starts at sea because of destructive noise levels, but most of the destinations listed in the video are either land-locked or don't have that kind of access to free coast lines? You can argue future technicalities, but not geography.

The person thinks it's fraud because they watched videos by a propagandist who goes by the name "common sense skeptic" who makes videos that sound a lot like the people who make videos about flat earth. I say this as they quote all the same talking points of that person.

Honestly, I don't know what to think of a CEO, who publicly puts her authority behind a video suggesting that doing anything off the open coast line of Zürich may be a viable business proposition. (It's a bit like selling a technology driven by the glaciers of New Mexico.)

Almost like someone who would think that they could do something that whole countries haven't been able to do in 60+ years?

I may be able to get my hands on a rare Swiss seaside property. Interested? ;-)
