Always appreciate careful criticism! It turns out the ratio of centrifugal-gravitational force to aerodynamic force is about 10:1, so punching through the atmosphere is a solvable problem. I love Max's videos! -C

Oh man, I hadn't seen those videos before. That's gold.

Off-topic, but your post popping up with the Hyperloop One name attached helped me decide[1] to sign w/ you folks instead of another company for Summer 2017, so see you in a few months!

[1] I was probably picking Hyperloop anyway, a cool Mars post + vague affiliation with Max just made it easier :)
