I am a transit maximalist. I believe that when a girl hornyposts from the other side of the country; I should be able to get on a maglev and arrive in her city before the prog is out of her system for no more than $40. All policy should bend to serve this goal.

    Hawaii is a 10/11 hour flight from certain parts of the us.

    Alaska is 11/12 hours to Florida, 14/15 to Puerto Rico.

    Even if you don’t want to include those, it’s 6/7 hours from Seattle to Miami.

    Yukon to Newfoundland is 6/7 hours.

    These exclude boarding times and such.

    Even if you went with current high speed trains, and exclude continental breaks between land masses, you’re talking about quite a few hours.

    Good luck staying horny that long.

      What part of “all policy should bend to serve this goal” did you not understand? We’re not done 'til we have $40 hypersonic suborbital flights, and if it takes a greater than Manhattan Project or Apollo level of effort to get there then, damn it, that’s what we’ll have to do!
