          The government really needs to grow some balls and get better with this stuff.

          Just draw some lines on a map. Offer everyone 1.3x the value of their house (or however much) and take it off them. For the greater good.

            Often you don’t even need more property. Just utilize existing rail systems. So much unused or barely used rail in this country.

      More like a trailer, good luck to those pilots in turbulence have you ever tried driving a car with a trailer that catches a strong wind?

      I think the real shipping breakthrough most people are looking for is low power neutral buoyancy without having to travel at hundreds of miles per hour.

          Directly measuring gravity waves first happened pretty recently in 2016 using LIGO, there’s a possibility through future observations at different frequencies someone might identify a means of manipulation. When humans first discovered electricity & electromagnetic fields it took awhile before batteries and generators, etc. It’s not guaranteed but isn’t impossible either.
