Worldwide tube transportation anyone?

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.
