    I’ve always heard that seismic activity makes hyperloop-style transit effectively impossible.*

    † Impossible given the constraints of current materials science. From what I’ve read (which may be garbage, but it seemed well researched), making a vacuum chamber that’s hundreds of thousands of miles long on top of a big wiggly molten goo ball isn’t something we can even see a way to realistically achieve right now.
