Just when I thought I couldn’t fall in love
with Elon Musk anymore than I already have, he comes up with a new secret project. If you are not yet
familiar with Elon, it’s time you were acquainted. He founded Tesla Motors (electric vehicles), SpaceX (space
exploration technology), SolarCity and PayPal. If there is anyone on the planet
with the mind of a reincarnated alien from a technologically advanced
civilization, or Spock, it’s Elon.
His
latest passion is the ET3 Worldwide Tube Transportation Project. Fear not, aeroplane scaredy cats,
greenies, and those suspecting they may have been dropped here as infants from
Sirius or the Pleiades, Elon may have the key to save us, or at least remind us
of our home planets.
Rocketing through a tunnel in a tube up to 4,000 mph to reach your overseas destination sounds a tad frightening, but, in my opinion, not as much as flying through the sky in a steel container strapped to a seat. I’d take the ET3 over Jetstar any day. So when can we expect to see this ET3 or ‘Evacuated Tube Transport’? A test version could be built by the end of 2013.
