If they can't make this LA to LV or NorCal to SoCal thing happen, coast to coast will never happen this, or next lifetime...

My big question is, could our bodies really handle traveling that fast?

Hell nah.

Haven't pilots been passing out and dying trying to fly those super fast jets?

 

[slicknick951]

We were just talking about this at work and apparently your body would only feel 1g of force. Its all on the website

 

[eiddyfouw]

Doubt this will happen in our lifetime.

Until you realize that it'll cost double what a flight would.

The cost of convenience

It's a cost many would be willing to pay...

Especially business folk...

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Yes, business folk will be able to pay this. But I'm sure not all of us here will become business folk. I don't see it in my future, at least.

If this happens...it will be one of the biggest tech advancements that have widespread implications on all fronts....not all good.

I actually hope it happens because i'd love to get to Cali and the Northwest in under an hour.

A lot of us on here will.

There's a few NT'rs who come from wealthy families already, others who are just working hard for a corporate, and others who are entrepreneurs. If this was to come out in 10 years at a relatively affordable rate, I can guarantee a lot of NTrs would use it. Maybe not at their own expense (corporates shuttling their employees around for pitches, meetings etc) but still a lot of people would use it....
