FASTEST TRAVEL YET? "TUBE TRAVELING", THE FUTURE?

LA to New York in 45 minutes: Colorado company has developed a concept for high-speed tube travel.

 

Rumor: High-speed tube travel concept in the works: (SIGN ME UP!!!)


TRUE: Prototypes for tube travel are complete; company searching for a test site
Imagine traveling from New York to Los Angeles in less time than it takes to get through those annoying airport security lines.

 Well, a company called ET3 out of Longmont, Colo., has developed a concept for the Evacuated Tube Transport, an airless, frictionless tube that can propel vehicles up to 4,000 miles per hour, effectively moving you from Los Angeles to New York in 45 minutes, all for the low, low cost of $100.

MSN News spoke with Daryl Oster, CEO of et3.com Inc., about his concept for future travel, a vision that is farther along than you might think. While this latest concept of high-speed travel sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie, Oster said prototypes and mock-ups have already been built and the company hopes to perform a three-mile test run by the end of the year.
"We're ready for full-scale implementation," Oster said.
