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!
gollark: Consider: interstate travel by road is quite slow, thus making the US significantly more divided. Airports are faster, but also more expensive and not good for bulk goods, plus security queues make things slower.
gollark: Small brain: interstate highway system.Large brain: airports everywhere or something.Large glowy brain or something: interstate high-speed maglev railway.Galaxy brain: interstate suborbital rocket system.Transcendent universe brain: interstate passenger railgun.
