I think if I'm going to be going 300+ MPH, I'd rather be in an airplane.

The problem isn't getting a train to go 300 MPH. The real engineering is getting them to stop.

Reminds me of the time I taught my brother how to ski.
Showed him how to put on the boots and skis...how to turn, keep his weight forward etc...
After about a hour of instruction, he states,
“This is all fine, how do I stop?”
I looked at him for a moment and replyed,
“fall down, you’ll stop...eventually” :)
