I hope I'm not breaking the 20 year rule somehow, but I've been wondering why (if?) nobody seemed to have been worried about launching a ship called the RMS Land Titanic on the 10th of April 2912. It's exactly 1000 years after the launching of the original Titanic, yet nobody was worried about the same thing happening again - this time on land? How did they even manage to find 2000+ people willing to tempt fate in this way? Wouldn't the average Earthican in 2912 have known about the original Titanic?
Interestingly enough, due to marked increase in the Great Global Warming of the 23rd century (the Transsocialist-Greenpublicans dispute this point, but that's for another discussion), icebergs had become a thing of the distant past. The idea that solid pieces of water, the size of mountains and capable of destroying a ship, floating through the oceans seems completely ridiculous and hardly imaginable to any child grown nowadays. Furthermore, the successful tenures of RMS Air Titanic and RMS Space Titanic (even featured in a film by popular late-21st century actor Shinbou Morita) throughout the past millennium generally put to rest such superstitious thoughts. Forgotten to time, and tempered by centuries of complacency, this is why nobody saw the Great Landberg coming...
