Here is the video project from youtube. 

Can you imagine how cool it is!! if they build this transport. It can show that how much human brain have developed. I think this transport is a very good idea to reduce the energy and make the traveling is further. It can travel from New York yo LA in 45 miuntes and from New York to China in 2 hours and that sound fantastic!! However, I think is it still worring about the safety in case of technocal problem. If the transport can move very fast like that and if it has something wrong, it would cause an acident easy.
