The fun part for is is imagining what would have to be done When Things Go Wrong.

I'm not sure if you can tach a maglev failure with wheels and brakes, but I guess that's not a new problem and probably already solved in Japan. Where it gets entertaining is humans locked in an air filled tube, inside a tube with as little air as possible, with possibly another pod already on its way.

I'm not sure this may happen at all, but if it does I reckon we will have solved a lot of problems for when we ever get to colonise the moon or even Mars. Maybe that's the real win of this project: new engineering patents..
