the answer to every infrastructure problem is high-speed rail
I hope they figure out how to do this with engineless commercial airliners (I know it'll never happen but it would be cool)
High speed rail(gun).
Fuck it, I see no reason why a train couldn't be shot between two tracks 100 miles apart
I want to see this as a Dahir Insaat animation
Well, you could make a "train" to orbit but your rail would have to be hundreds of kilometers long, dozens of kilometers tall, held up with wires and particle accelerators, and the train would probably just be a single car
Btw this would just accelerate the space plane so it doesnt have to burn as much fuel as otherwise. It's not a literal train into space
Don't listen to them, comrade Xi will make Honkai Star Rail real.
Yeah but where I am it's all Honkies with No Rail
TFW, the cartoon Galaxy Express 999 lied to me...
banger OP tho
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Look up launch loops if you're interested in trains to space
