Jump to postThat outlook is terrible. I recently saw a high speed train station in Barcelona, and it looks just like an airport with security and bag scanners and long lines. So why would I pay more money to use a train over taking a flight, when I will still get stuck in long security lines? High speed rail i...
Jump to postThis is interesting. According to this Travel and Leisure article Venus Aerospace in Texas is developing a passenger plane that could fly from New York to Sydney in 90 minutes.
