Evacuated Tube Transport- backbone of a new economy

Quote from peilthetraveler:

I'm sure 100 years ago people said that about airplanes. 100 years ago, most people in the world had never traveled faster than how fast a horse can run, so getting in a plane(or a "metal tube with wings") that could go 300-500 mph must have sounded very dangerous.

I'm sure if this thing takes effect, you are more likely to die in your car going 55 mph than in this tube going 4,000 mph.

Ever since man saw a bird flying, wanted to imitate said bird. It is very rare to find someone wanting to imitate a mole. :D
 
Well, maybe they could make the tubes larger and with windows.

Oh, wait! We already have that. It's called Amtrak. :D

Obviously there are a lot of hurdles, but how could you not be excited by the potential?
