could have this if politicians didn't fight high speed rail so much
I'm a fan of high speed rail too, but I also wonder if it's ever going to be comparable to flying for long distances like this.
Like, even traveling in a direct line on a plane (which averages 600mph, or 2-3x the average speed of high speed rail), it still takes 6 hours from NYC to LA.
As soon as Elon Musk builds his Hyperloop, we'll be traveling from NYC to LA in just a few hours. /s
I've never considered myself claustrophobic, but the mockups of Hyperloop I've seen freak me out a little.
Not claustrophobic at all, but the idea of entering that engineering system has me bugging.
