Good news everyone!

Ever wanted to be jammed in a tube and rocket towards your destination at high speeds?

I'm a bit skeptical... and not just of the science behind it, but the cost of travel as well. A penny a mile, my ass. Any corporation that funds this will want to make their money back as quickly as possible, and given that the slowed down version has an estimated cost of $2 million per mile, no one's going to fund that any time soon, much less the 4000 mph version.
