Evacuated Air Transport

[Joseph Bento]

I really must read more.  I had not previously heard of this method of 
transport.  I take it there are funding problems, or something is wrong 
with the concept?  It seems nearly unbelievable that one could traverse 
the country in about the same time I take in my morning commute.  If the 
cost estimates are accurate, it might seem there should be full funding 
for this project.
