Evacuated Tube Transport could take you around the world in just 6 hours

The video discusses the use of airless vacuum tubes for high-speed travel, highlighting their energy efficiency and reduced costs compared to traditional rail systems. Capsules travel on frictionless maglev tracks, reaching speeds up to 6500 km/h with minimal passenger discomfort. The system is cost-effective, offering significant savings over high-speed rail and freeway construction, and can drastically reduce travel times between major cities.
