Is anyone looking at catapults yet? Seems that would be a great technology to pour billions into. Maybe that is why Musk is proposing Hyperloop? Get the engineering done for high speed trains, then scale it up. Way up. The Startram project

I have switched to DDG as my default. It answers the many daily questions I have. Have to switch to maps.google for directions though. For research I actually use Yippy. Great filters and easier to set dates.
