Boo. All I want is fast as fuck transport. I don't see why maglev trains in a vacuum are so difficult
Maintaining a vacuum over long distances is really fucking hard.
You'd be better served utilising existing rail infrastructure and improving that to make high speed trains possible.
Small vaccum then. They managed to build a tunnel between France and England. Put people on the moon. Can do a lot
Why not just make a tunnel and forget the vacuum? It's just a subway system, but it's efficient
Edit: France & England might have dug a tunnel but Paris and London just have a subway. And train to move around the country.
Edit2: fixed wording
