On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we’ll be A.O.K.

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

What a bunch of jerkoffs at the Daily Mail to even publish something this stupid. That generally goes for the entire country and their love of all things sensational, stupid, and meaningless.

5) What are the g-forces on the passengers during acceleration?

Around 25 but since the passengers will be given a short-acting hypnotic and be lying prone on a custom-fitted memory foam pad, with metered oxygen and N2O, the awareness will be minimal.

“For some reason, that reminds me of “The Mile High Club”.”

In 11 minutes?

Who am I kidding - that sounds about right.

Main design flaw: There’s no reason for anyone to go to London. Who wants to get beheaded or raped?

rockets and scramjets on a plane with the wings of a seagull is about as counterintuitive an idea that can be had.

The only place that thing will go Mach 24 is in hard vacuum, and it’s going to have to start and end there.

More than likely a working matter transporter will be globally available this century.

First guess is only the military and the police will have it first. Then the wealthy, then doctors, then politicians.

Then they will tax it, restrict it or.....its already out there but suppressed.....

Would make for a really good novel, or a movie.
