Aren't we bullshiting over super vacuum literal pipe dream hyperloops instead of building real trains already?

Well, at least you'll live to see this:

(the date, if not the technology :-/ ).

You know, I really don't like anime, except for this one
(very _Blade Runner_ish) sequence that took my breath away
the first time I saw it:

Ghost in the Shell - Making of Cyborg (Music Video)

(I don't mind the girl's face -- she's not supposed to be human,
after all -- but why'd they have to go and spoil it
with the cartoonish Beagle?)
