Fvck that; what happens when something goes wrong and you're stuck inside your windowless tube with no way to exit and escape?

Halving the price of electricity is probably a more worthwhile goal as far as megaprojects go.

This is more a make work project.

Make it then genius! Elon Musk is a lot more intelligent than Spikers, I'm sure he's pondered different ways of making this possible.

Oh, well since you insulted me, I have been chastised! Oh, I don't know WHAT I will do now because RY213 says Elon Musk is smarter than me. *sniff* What ever will I do.

Interesting that someone else already quoted him with the exact idea I was championing, and others in the same community and circles.


But I guess because some CEO says the idea is awesome, that the sheeple don't need to question it, and must accept it as the only conceivable option.

Sounds to me like people are now going to follow Mr. Musk like the did Mr. Jobs.

This is something that MUST happen. Or something like it. It is SO wasteful to commute to Edmonton and or Red Deer etc, and do so driving.

Imagine getting there in 15 minutes safely. Next to a Transporter, this is the best solution. Link all the Major cities in North America.

Brings Fly-In-Fly-Out of fort mac to a daily commute.

2) How can you ensure nobody will be shitting or pissing in that 35mins trip from LA to San Fran? And if someone did shart, you are stuck with nowhere to go.

You aren't really lying down, just in a reclined position.

What's stopping anyone from shitting or pissing in their own seats in a small business jet?

You can get up and go to the back if you need to.

Then again, 35mins isn't 3hrs so risk is quite low.

It's too bad internet experts are always so much smarter than real experts! If only the people with the means to do this read jalopnik, and random internet forums before they attempted it, would save them billions!!

Everyone is an expert in something.
