gollark: This could not* go wrong.
gollark: The rockets are quite expensive, though, so the obvious solution is to have cheaper externally propelled vehicle things launched from the ground.
gollark: But several hours to go across the country is still quite significant, and if your passenger transport system cannot be used as a weapon of mass destruction it is not very good, so the obvious solution is ridiculously expensive rocket-based travel.
gollark: But rail would be quite fast, possibly cheaper if you ignore the huge initial investment, and could ship cargo!
