>>12460885>it wouldn't be certified to hold passengers because it's basically a death machineDidn't they just do a passenger test?
>throughput would be pitiful due to how long it takes to pump downI would assume the commercial version would have some kind of airlock system so that the pod would only need to have a very small amount of air removed from around it before moving into the main tube.
Cost could be an issue, but the system is mostly stainless steel and pumps, which aren't that expensive in bulk.
I wouldn't invest in it, but I don't discount it.
