We could have done this a long time ago. Bush Sr, no matter what, was going to spend trillions of tax dollars on some sort of grand industrial escapade to colonize a dusty wasteland. He gave us the option for it to be space, the moon and mars, but we said “no”, we laughed at him, so it got spent on research into demolishing skyscrapers and invading middle eastern shit holes instead. Instead of Space Station Freedom we got FOB Freedom. And for the last 30 years the Chinese copied all of our tech and caught up so now we have to compete with them instead of just comfy inter-planetary domination.

ready for use in 2030s , lol

Anyway I wonder what the economics of this are vs wheeled vehicles or moon ships that can fly over the surface. Railroads are expensive to maintain because of the miles of trackway. A flying vehicle like they used in space 1999 might be cheaper and faster.

USAtards can't even do proper high speed train system on their lands.

This project will succeed as the chinese will do it.

The interesting part is how the Moon environment differs from Earth. The lack of atmosphere makes a hyperloop type system possible without even requiring a tunnel. The lack of life and rain means two of the main sources of maintenance needs are eliminated. Moonquakes exist but are rare. There's no atmosphere to protect the system from meteoroids but those too are rare. The main issue probably would be thermal expansion/contraction and the abrasiveness of lunar regolith. Without an atmosphere, not much regolith would get stirred up by passing vehicles so maybe it wouldn't be all that much of an issue especially with a contactless maglev.
Space:1999 did have a transit tunnel, though IIRC it was only used between parts of the base and not used for long distance travel.

Never going to happen. Like I always say, you retards can't do basic maths. There is an equation made around a century ago. It's called THE ROCKET EQUATION and you will never lift magnets and bullshit needed to build a train on the Moon. You won't do it, Russians won't do it, Chinks won't do it, it's not happening. It's called MATH, I'm sorry you've never heard of it but it blocks your path anyways.

[Anonymous No.16172136]

>>16172126
Incorrect. Motion from the train will stir up lunar regolith which is highly abrasive and highly damaging to all known machines. Think about sand from the Middle East but worse. The US Military's #1 maintenance enemy in the last few decades have been sand.

Now imagine a 60-200+mph lunar bullet train speeding along the surface of the Moon. How much dust do you suppose that could kick up? In the low gravity how long will it take the dust to settle back down? There are a great deal of variables you have ignored. It's never going to happen.

Charged particles certainly could be an issue but perhaps that could be ameliorated by paving the ground under the path. Obviously that's an added expense but the power of magnetism rapidly diminishes with distance so it probably wouldn't need to be very wide. And keep in mind that there's no air to get charged so the amount of particles in question would itself be small.
