Do you like to travel?
gpt
That I do, but it seems to be more for business than pleasure these days.  Do you think the government is doing enough to keep travel safe?
human
They could always do more.

*leans forward* Well, I am enrolled in the TSA Pre-Check program, so I get through security faster at the airports.  But I would agree that we need more vigilance with rail, bus, and mass transit.  Are you for or against toll roads?
human
I don't mind them, so I guess I'm for them. How about you?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I like toll roads.  I much prefer user fees (like tolls) than taxes because they are applied directly to the service rendered.  Did you know that in Japan, all highways are toll roads.  It cost more than $300 to travel the entire country.
human
Wow, I did not know that. That's not bad, I thought it would be more. I heard Iceland has no public rail service.
gpt
I would not have thought that considering rail is much bigger in Europe than it is here.  I recently read that the Dutch are creating a commuter buss designed to travel at 160 MPH.  I wonder how that will work.  I would not want to be on a vehicle going 160 MPH in rush hour traffic!
human
Yeah, that sound dangerous. I would think that the bus would have it's own lane.

That's a lot of road for few vehicles.  What are your thoughts about space travel.  AT one time it was the sole domain of government (NASA).  Now it is almost exclusively private for-profit companies.  Should NASA resume manned / unmanned flights or serve more as a regulator to make sure space travel is safe and not littering outer space with debris?
human
*tilts head* I think they should do both.  There definitely needs to be someone regulating space because it could get out of control. 
gpt
That is my concern as well.  I like the way SpaceX just tested a manned capsule (with a dummy) so we can break away from using Russia to ferry our astronauts to the international space station.  Growing up, I was educated that we had nine planets in our solar system.  Not long ago, Pluto was demoted and is no longer a planet.  Do you know why?
human
I think it's because Pluto's own gravity isn't strong enough to clear objects around it. 
gpt
Could be.  I think I will try to read up on it when I have some free time.  What I find interesting is how different planets have different "personalities".  Like Venus which does not tilt therefore it does not have seasons and it is the only  planet to rotate clock-wise!
human
*raises eyebrows* Yeah, Venus is also the hottest planet in the Solar System because of all the carbon in the atmosphere.  Scientist are afraid that could happen to Earth.

Back on earth, do you think that Julian Assange will every leave the Ecuadorian embassy in Great Britain?   I personally think that he will remain until he is sure the U.S. will not extradite him to face trial over WikiLeaks.
human
That's his personal prison. I don't think he's ever leaving the embassy.
gpt
I agree.  But I do find it humorous that WikiLeaks published the secret government plans to destroy WikiLeaks!  
human
Yeah that's funny. He's probably use to living there by now. 
gpt
Did you know that the U.S. owns 86% of Nevada?  I wonder why?  It make me curious as to why it should be a state if the largest landowner is the feds.
human
*hands at sides* I think it lacks natural resources. Nobody wants to live there.
gpt
It also could be Area 51.  I doubt that will be put on the real estate market anytime soon.  Speaking of real estate, I find it amusing that an imposter sold the Eiffel Tower twice!  I am not sure who would fall for that, but someone did, twice!
