That would be weird. Usually they have pilots that take the ships through canals and into dense harbours. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything they learned trying new and different techniques have given researchers many new tools in their fight against other viruses. Investment in science does not always have the immediate and obvious desired outcomes but we learn a lot from our failures.

Nova Scotia became the first province or state in North America to pass such legislation when the act was passed unanimously in April 2019. Now, we need our gov't to do that too.

Mark F Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Formula One has announced an agreement to stage a race in Miami from next season. A Miami Grand Prix has been in the pipeline for a number of years following the acquisition of the sport by an American conglomerate, Liberty Media, in 2017. After a series of setbacks, a 10-year deal to race at the Hard Rock Stadium – home to the Miami Dolphins NFL team – was confirmed as teams prepared for Sunday’s Emilia Romagna GP. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/apr/18/miami-grand-prix-f1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they're not harming anyone around them and they contribute to offset the health costs, like smokers do with tobacco tax.
