LH Cargo's Air Cargo Innovation Challenge

Has anyone had a look at LH Cargo's "Co-Create" crowdsourcing initiative?
https://innovation.lufthansa-cargo.com/start.php
It's a hoot - you think you've been timed-warped back to April Fool's Day.
The lunatic fringe has discovered it and come up with ideas such as:
  • Stringing a cable to the moon from which an Earth Transfer Station is attached and to which cargo is shuttled from Earth and then back down when the moon reaches the bit of the world that corresponds to the freight's destination.
  • Deploying helium airbags on the MCD to stop cargo moving around.
  • Donating old cargo nets to fishermen
A few practical ideas in there (most of which have been standard practice for decades) but bloody hell.....
